Dead in the water : murder and fraud in the world's most secretive industry /Matthew Campbell & Kit Chellel.

"In July 2011, the oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso was drifting through the treacherous Gulf of Aden, near Yemen and Somalia, when a crew of pirates attacked and set her ablaze in a devastating explosion. But when David Mockett, a maritime surveyor working for Lloyd's of London, inspected the damaged vessel, he was left with more questions than answers. How had the pirates gotten aboard so easily? And if they wanted to steal the ship and bargain for its return, then why did they destroy it? Soon after, Mockett was murdered. Through first-hand accounts - including from the ship's crew, witnesses to the attacks, and the ex-London detectives turned private investigators seeking to solve Mockett's murder - award-winning reporters Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel reveal the astounding truth behind one of the most brazen financial frauds in history. A gripping story spanning from Yemen to Greece to the law courts of London, Dead in the Water is a shocking expose of the corrupt innerworkings of international shipping, an old-world industry at the backbone of our global economy."c
