New Book 'London Falling' Explores the Mysterious Death of a Teen in London's Underworld
Patrick Radden Keefe's new book, 'London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth,' delves into the mysterious death of Zac Brettler, a 19-year-old who died under suspicious circumstances in London. Brettler, who had been living a double life, convinced a feared gangster, Dave Sharma, that he was the son of a fictitious Russian oligarch poised to inherit a fortune. The book explores Brettler's life and the investigation into his death, which occurred after he jumped from a luxury apartment owned by a Saudi princess. Keefe uses this true crime story to explore broader social and political issues, including London's role as a haven for the global elite to stash unexplained wealth.
