New Yorker staff writer and bestselling author of “Say Nothing” and “Empire of Pain,” Patrick Radden Keefe presents a spellbinding account of a family devastated by the sudden death of their nineteen-year-old son, only to discover that he had created a secret life which drew him into a dangerous criminal underworld. In a bravura feat of reporting and writing, Radden Keefe offers a mesmerizing investigation of an inexplicable death, as well as an intimate and deeply poignant inquiry into the nature of parental love and the challenges of being a parent today, a portrait of a family trying to solve the riddle not just of how their son died, but of who he really was in life.
