Patrick Radden Keefe

Patrick Radden Keefe is a master investigative journalist and storyteller, whose groundbreaking reporting focuses on themes of crime and corruption, secrets and lies, and the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds. A longtime staff writer at “The New Yorker” and the bestselling author of six books, his work has exposed the Sackler family for their role in the opioid crisis and identified the culprit in a notorious, decades-old murder. In his lively talks, he offers a colorful and often funny behind-the-scenes look at the sagas he has spent his career exploring, and makes an inspiring case for the importance of truth and the power of old-fashioned storytelling.

‍‍His latest book, the #1 New York Times bestseller “London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded Cityand a Family’s Search for Truth,” investigates the complicated life and mysterious death of Zac Brettler, a London teenager who, unbeknownst to his parents, developed a secret alter ego, posing as the son of a Russian oligarch. Meticulously reported and paced like a thriller, “London Falling” is a suspenseful tour of the sordid, vicious underworld beneath one of the world’s great capital cities. It was named One of the Best Books of the Year (So Far) by The New York Times and was a New York Times Book Review Book Club pick.
