VANISHED
“If Jack Reacher met Nick Heller in a dark alley, my money’s on Reacher. But it would be ugly. Or would it? Actually, I think they’d go for a beer together and set the world to rights—because Joseph Finder has given me a terrific new hero to root for. This is an action-packed, full-throttle, buy-it-today-read-it-tonight series that you definitely shouldn’t miss.”
—Lee Child
“A humdinger.… a thriller to enjoy for its Washington locales, convincing familiarity with cutting-edge spy gadgetry, and taut action scenes.”
—The Washington Post
“Cliffhangers galore, the fascinating tradecraft of corporate espionage, and an engrossing story will propel readers through this outstanding thriller. Highly recommended as a great summer read.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“Written in staccato chapters that are emotionally supercharged and action-packed, this thriller will more than satisfy adrenaline junkies and have them guessing until the very end.”
—Publishers Weekly
“If you read only one book this summer, make it Vanished.”
—Crimespree magazine
“Moves at the pace of an injected neurotoxin … You’ll curse Finder for keeping you up into the early hours.”
—Shots magazine
“Even though I’d been warned that everyone who’d read it did so in one sitting, I cracked the cover at 10 p.m., figuring yeah, yeah, one sitting, right. When I passed out at 4 a.m., I was thinking, boy, if I could just keep my eyes open long enough to finish this!”
—Myles Knapp, Contra Costa Times
POWER PLAY
“A white-knuckle tale of suspense.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“A fast-paced fun ride … a delicious, perfectly prepared mixture.”
—Boston Globe
“A bloody, rollicking thrill ride … the plot moves at light speed.”
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
“The action is swift … keeps the plot bubbling and the pages turning.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“Thrilling … Start Power Play this afternoon and you’ll have the nightstand lamp burning at bedtime.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
KILLER INSTINCT
“Unstoppable.”
—USA Today
“Masterful.”
—Houston Chronicle

—The New York Times Book Review
“A roller coaster of a read.”
—Cosmopolitan
“It starts off with a bang and doesn’t slow down until the last page.”
—Ottawa Sun
COMPANY MAN
“It’s everything a thriller should be: suspenseful, entertaining—and, above all, thrilling.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“Once again, Finder has produced a page-turning corporate thriller with enough twists and turns for any reader.”
—Denver Post
“The thriller is rejuvenated by Joseph Finder with Company Man. That’s because Finder puts the emphasis on sharply created characters instead of potentially eye-glazing business minutiae.”
—Chicago Tribune
PARANOIA
“The most entertaining thriller of the year.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A high-octane thrill ride.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“Jet-propelled … this twisting, stealthily plotted story … weaves a tangled and ingeniously enveloping web … [with a] killer twist for the end.”
—The New York Times
“Riveting … perhaps the finest of the contemporary thriller novelists, you may think you’ve read one mystery too many. Find Finder and you’ll think again.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Page-turning perfection … Finder has that rare knack for instantly pulling the reader into the story and then tops that with surprises within surprises.”
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Imaginative and original, this is a gripping thriller with three characteristics too rare in the genre: humor, heart, and good writing.”
—Detroit Free Press
