About this listen
In July 2011, the oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso was drifting through the treacherous Gulf of Aden 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. Soon after his inspection, he was murdered.
Dead in the Water is a shocking expose of the criminal inner-workings of international shipping, an old-world industry at the backbone of our global economy. Through first-hand accounts of those who lived the hijacking—from members of the ship's crew and witnesses to the attacks, to the ex-London detectives turned private investigators seeking to solve Mockett's murder—award-winning reporters Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel piece together the astounding truth behind one of the most brazen financial frauds in history.

Enthralled sea tale
Fantastic book but scary when see people flaunting the law with no problem with inflicting pain and death on innocent parties. Also highlight that $$$ is everything. And lastly the lack of moral fibre in supposed law enforcement agencies.
Congrats to the author and pvt investigators.

Revealing the shipping industry
Very interesting book putting some context on our every day purchases. Quite complex at times but we’ll worth the read!
