Conspiracy At Sea: Matthew Campbell's True-Crime Thriller
Chartwell is now representing Matthew Campbell for his speaking engagements. Matthew is the co-author of “Dead in the Water: A True Story of Hijacking, Murder, and a Global Maritime Conspiracy”. The book is one of six shortlisted for the prize of the Financial Times’ Business Book of the Year. “American Kingpin” author, Nick Bilton, described it as ‘one of the most nail-biting, page-turning, terrifying true-crime books I’ve ever read.’

The thrilling exposé of the conspiracy behind the supposed 2011 hijacking of the Brilliante Virtuoso oil tanker asks awkward questions about the secretive world of shipping. It looks at financial fraud, supply-chain ethics, and geopolitics. A short Bloomberg documentary on the tale is included below.
Matthew Campbell is the Asia Editor of Bloomberg Businessweek and is based in Singapore.
