About
Set in the high-stakes world of international shipping and finance, The Sea of Profits follows Will Baxter, a London shipowner fighting to save his family business after the 2008 financial crash. With his company drowning in debt and the banks tightening their grip, Will sees no way out—until an unexpected rescue offer arrives.
Behind that offer is António Andella, known in London as Peter Hendon—the calculating yet idealistic head of a powerful Neapolitan Camorra family. Determined to break away from his father's cocaine empire, António is using laundered money to build a legitimate business empire, including a London-based finance company. When the company refinances Will's ships, an unlikely partnership begins to flourish.
But António's past refuses to remain buried.
When his long-serving lieutenant, Dante Coppola, discovers that António intends to sell the family's criminal operations to a rival Camorra clan with a long and bloody history, he decides to act. His attempt to forge an alliance with the Russian mafia in Milan sets in motion a violent struggle for power—and puts António's life in grave danger.
As loyalties fracture and law enforcement closes in, Will finds himself drawn deeper into a world he barely understands, while António discovers that escaping his family's legacy may be far more difficult than he imagined.
