Patrick Radden Keefe announces his new book, "London Falling," a true mystery about Zac Brettler, a teenager who died mysteriously in London. The book follows Zac's parents as they investigate his double life, discovering he pretended to be the son of a Russian oligarch. Keefe narrates the audiobook and offers a sample chapter, which sets the scene in London, focusing on the Thames River and its historical significance. The prologue describes London's transformation from a bustling port city to a financial capital, marked by luxury developments and foreign investment, creating a city of contrasts with "ghost mansions" and hidden dangers beneath its glamorous surface. The scene then shifts to a luxury apartment complex, Riverwalk, where a young man jumps from a balcony, setting the stage for the mystery.
