SUMMARY:An Evening with Patrick Radden Keefe
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Radden Keefe\, staff writer at The New Yorker and author of multiple New York Times bestsellers\, will appear in support of his newest book\, “London Falling\,” a true-crime investigation into corruption\, grief\, and the darker side of one of the world’s most iconic cities. \n\n\n\nThe book centers on a real mystery: a 19-year-old named Zac Brettler\, from a close family\, who was living a secret life posing as the heir to a Russian oligarch’s fortune before falling from the balcony of a luxury apartment building into the Thames. While police ruled it a suicide and largely closed the case\, Keefe’s investigation points to something far more troubling. The story pulls back the curtain on London’s financial underworld\, where dirty money from oligarchs\, arms dealers\, and drug traffickers gets laundered with the help of lawyers\, bankers\, and complicit institutions. \n\n\n\nAt the center of it all is a family trying to make sense of their son’s death and the secret life he hid from them. It’s that search for answers and understanding that gives the book its emotional weight. \n\n\n\nKeefe is the author of “Say Nothing\,” “Empire of Pain\,” and “Rogues\,” and the creator of the podcast Wind of Change. His work has earned a Guggenheim Fellowship\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and the Baillie Gifford Prize\, among others.
