About the book
Rotterdam, now. Ruben Boldewijn is forty-one, a partner at a commercial firm, and one of the best commodities lawyers in the Netherlands, and his family left Paramaribo in 1982 because his father declined to sign something. He wants to be the most respectable man in every room he enters. A client he acquires by winning a customs forfeiture wants him a little further in each year, one scope-of-work at a time, and every step is defended by a professional rule that is real and good. Underneath it, discussed at lunch in the register of freight rates, is a market in knowing which containers will be opened, and its price rises every time enforcement improves.
