Exit Strategy: A Robert Fairchild Novel - Matthew Mccleery

n nWhen ESG concerns cause Reeperbahn Landesbank to sell his $750 million credit facility to Loan-Own-Capital, a New York distressed fund, Norwegian shipping magnate Coco Jacobsen is forced to make a tough decision: put in another $100 million to defend his fossil fuel dependent company -- or toss the keys to the hedge fund and disappear on his yacht. But when Coco learns that one of his lenders is a Sopranos-style money laundering operation that doesn't take kindly to losing money, he enlists his estranged CFO, Robert Fairchild, to get creative about saving his fleet -- and maybe even the entire shipping industry. Exit Strategy is the third book in The Shipping Man series.n nFor readers new to the shipping industry, Matt McCleery's novels are a unique blend of fact and fiction that provide an entertaining and educational glimpse into the world of international ocean shipping and global capital markets.
