London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth
by Patrick Radden Keefe
Doubleday/PRH
This is a very sad, but intriguing book. How could this child have gotten himself into such awful circumstances? But, do you remember being nineteen?
The family's response, their search - at first for their child, then for an explanation - is heartbreaking.
The picture of London as something out of the Wild West, completely with deadly Russian cowboys, is surprising and frightening.
Raden Keefe is a wonderful writer and keeps us riveted.
