A riveting tale of ambition, intrigue, and the price of success, KILLER INSTINCT is Joseph Finder at his best. In PARANOIA and NO HIDING PLACE, Joseph Finder has written two of the best thrillers of the last 5 years. These are real zeitgeist thrillers - in the same way as Ludlum did in the 70s and 80s, Finder captures the mood of a time and a world. A movie of his earlier novel HIGH CRIMES, starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman, grossed $41 million for Fox. Paramount Pictures has bought rights to Paranoia for a high-six figures for Lorenzo di Bonaventura to produce. Finder is already a New York Times bestseller in the USA and has been in the Independent top ten over here. He also has received excellent reviews: '[A] pacy, gripping novel ... It is compulsive reading and the end is stunning and absolutely unguessable' Sunday Telegraph. 'Winningly brutal ... [Finder] is more than capable of ratcheting up tension' The Times. 'Finder's novel is as tight as a garrotte' Independent on Sunday.

In addition to fiction, Finder continues to write extensively on espionage and international affairs relations for the New York Times, the Washington Post and the New Republic. He lives in Boston with his wife and daughter.
