WBEZ presents an evening with Patrick Radden Keefe, the best-selling, award-winning investigative journalist, New Yorker staff writer, and author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain.

This event marks the release of Keefe’s latest book, London Falling – a spellbinding account of a family shattered by the sudden death of their nineteen-year-old son, and the shocking discovery of the secret life that led him into London’s criminal underworld. Keefe will discuss his reporting process, the story behind the book, and the hidden networks of power, corruption, and tragedy at its core.
WBEZ is proud to partner with Exile in Bookville, an independent bookstore. Pre-signed copies of London Falling are available at checkout and at the event. All pre-ordered copies of London Falling include a 20% discount.
