London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth

“Not exactly a summer beach read but unputdownable.”

“About a 19 year old who conned two London con men into thinking he was the son of a Russian oligarch, who died under mysterious circumstances. Patrick’s books have a gravitational field that sucks you in. All of his books are impossible to tear away from. This one is no different.”

“a game changing must-read. I think about it all the time.”

“Like a spiderweb of connecting family stories all leading to the circumstances of a singular tragedy”

“I’m currently listening to this audiobook, so I guess it’s the aural equivalent of a page turner. A complex true crime thriller, the author narrates this story of a 19 year old London boy who is found dead. It links so many different narratives; parenting a troubled child, Russian oligarchs, the London underworld, and colonialism.”

“i listened to this in one sitting on a long flight (1.3 speed) and it put me in the best state of suspended time and space, I was IN IT. The storytelling, the layers, the depth of his investigative journalism, excellent.”

“Non-fiction that reads like fiction.”

“Nonfiction reads like thriller”

“Really great book”

“London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe is simultaneously about the tragic, unexplained death of a young man in London and the way the city has compromised its societal integrity in pursuit of wealth.It’s amazing.”
