Patrick Radden Keefe joins us at Belfast Book Festival to discuss his new book, London Falling, a riveting story of wealth, violence and deceit at the heart of a glittering city.

In 2019, London teenager Zac Brettler fell to his death from a luxury apartment building. On a desperate quest to understand how their son had died, his grieving parents discovered that Zac had been leading a fantasy life, posing as the son of a Russian oligarch.

Join the award-winning author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing for a dark journey into London’s terrifying underworld.

“More addictive than any box set, London Falling will break your heart, instil you with cold rage, and make you see London in a completely new light” Sathnam Sanghera
