About This Event

London Falling: Patrick Radden Keefe on How Money, Power and Corruption Shape Our City

Patrick Radden Keefe is an award-winning writer known for his ability to tell complex stories in ways that are compelling and revealing.

Author of the bestsellers Empire of Pain—a shocking exposé of the Sackler family and their involvement in the opioid crisis—and Say Nothing, his award-winning account of The Troubles in Northern Ireland and the murder of Jean McConville by the IRA, Keefe has built a global reputation for meticulous reporting, moral clarity, and gripping storytelling.

On Tuesday 5 May, he will join Emily Maitlis to discuss the investigation that has led to his new book London Falling. At its centre is a teenager who mysteriously fell to his death from a Thames-side luxury apartment in London, and his grieving family’s determination to get to the truth of what really happened. Keefe will also discuss the broader themes of how money laundering, crime and corruption function today in London's underbelly.

Join us live at The Royal Geographical Society and ask your questions in the audience Q&A.
