Our book of the week is
LONDON FALLING by Patrick Radden Keefe. This is Keefe's latest book, after his widely acclaimed EMPIRE OF PAIN. It explores the death of 19 year old Zac Brettler, who had been posing as a Russian oligarch's son and became entangled with the London underworld. LONDON FALLING was a Most Anticipated book of 2026 and is a New York Times Best Book of the Year So Far.
There are twists and turns aplenty and much to discuss:
-
Were the Met police incompetent or was there more to it?
-
If your teenager has £850,000 in their bank account, is this a red flag?
-
What did we think of the ending?
