London Off the Beaten Path

A teenager’s death leads to an investigation of London’s dirty money in Patrick Radden Keefe’s London Falling

Patrick Radden Keefe turns his investigative powers to the death of a young con artist in his sixth book, London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family’s Search for Truth. What begins as an inquiry into a 19-year-old man’s possible murder quickly evolves into what Keefe is best known for: a bedrock-deep exhumation of some bad people’s biggest secrets. Keefe will discuss London Falling at Parnassus Books in Nashville on April 11.

Ways to Support the Work

Chapter 16, launched in October 2009, is an online journal about books, writers, and literary events in Tennessee and serves as the state affiliate of the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress.

We cover novels set here; histories involving Tennessee events or locations; authors who live here, were born or educated here; and out-of-state writers when they give readings or participate in book signings anywhere in the state. We also publish original poems and essays by prominent Tennessee authors (including previews of their works in progress).

Your donations help us continue to engage in the stories of the past and present to build a better future for Tennesseans. Contributions help make Chapter16 possible and ensure it remains free for the community. Individual gifts, foundation grants, and corporate sponsorships help connect communities through shared stories and allow us all to build a better future for all Tennesseans.
