While on the surface this initially looked like an accident or a suicide, London Falling attempts to unravel the incidents that led to the tragic incident, confounded by  the fact Zac had been living a double life as the son of Russian oligich. I have always heard good things about Patrick Radden-Keefe but I was still blown away by this phenomenally well told story.  Incredibly thoroughly planned and thoughtfully written, the research is forensic and extensive but Radden- Keefe never strays away from the humanity at the centre of the story - one family’s grief.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Baillie Gifford Prize-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing comes a riveting story of wealth, violence and deceit at the heart of a glittering city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2019, a London teenager, Zac Brettler, fell to his death from a luxury apartment building on the banks of the Thames.
