Keefe P: London Falling / LF

London Falling

A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City, and a Family’s Search for Truth

From the Baillie Gifford Prize-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing - a stunning story of corruption and tragedy in one of the world's great cities: London. 'One of those authors I will always read, no matter what the subject matter . . . a masterclass in compelling narrative non-fiction' - The Guardian on Empire of Pain In 2019, a London teenager, Zac Brettler, mysteriously fell to his death from a luxury apartment building on the banks of the Thames. When his grieving parents began their desperate quest to understand how their son had died, they made a terrible discovery: Zac had been leading a fantasy life, posing as the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. In his inimitably gripping and forensic prose, Baillie Gifford Prize winner and New Yorker writer Patrick Radden Keefe follows Zac's parents on a dark journey to find out what brought Zac to the balcony that night - and how a teenager's world of make-believe drew him into the city's terrifying underworld. London Falling is at once a devastating family tragedy, a riveting story of greed, power and deception, and an indictment of the culture that has transformed London into a haven for the malignant forces that have come to influence us all.

A Brother's Twenty-Year Quest to Uncover the Truth about His Sister's Death

A Better Ending

For fans of Ben Macintyre, the gripping story of the assassination of Soviet revolutionary Leon Trotsky and the deadly game of cat and mouse that preceded it On August 20, 1940, Leon Trotsky invited a man he knew only as Jacques Mornard into his study. Mornard waited for Trotsky to sit, then smashed an ice pick he had hidden in his raincoat into his skull. &nbsp; For over a decade, Trotsky’s greatest enemy, Joseph Stalin, had been trying to arrange his murder. His agents had hunted him across Europe and into a lonely, bitter exile in Mexico. He had liquidated Trotsky’s family and friends, and yet Trotsky had always escaped his clutches. The man who changed this all was Ramón Mercader, a minor Spanish aristocrat and Soviet agent who had posed as Mornard, a dissolute Belgian playboy, and infiltrated Trotsky’s inner circle.&nbsp; In The Death of Trotsky, Josh Ireland traces the separate paths walked by each of these protagonists as they steadily draw closer and closer to that fateful encounter on August 20. Blending intimate historical detail and thrilling historical narrative, swinging from Moscow to Paris to Mexico, and taking in a cast of morally conflicted Russian spies, fanatical Mexican painters, and innocent American idealists, The Death of Trotsky delves into the lives of two fascinating, complex men locked in a life-or-death struggle that will bend the course of history.

The True Story of the Plot to Kill Stalin's Greatest Enemy

The Death of Trotsky

However gifted a particular forensic scientist or police officer might be, crimes are solved by teams, not individuals. In this unique and fascinating book, world-renowned forensic scientist Dr Angela Gallop and highly acclaimed former Detective Chief Superintendent and Head of CID for West Yorkshire Police Chris Gregg provide intriguing insights into some of the many cases they have helped to solve as well as looking at other high-profile cases where their individual skills could have saved time - and lives. For the first time Chris and Angela have come together to share their bespoke perspectives on the art and science of policing. They will look at various areas of law enforcement and consider how best their own expertise was - or could have been - deployed. A joint venture by two leading proponents in the international fight against serious crime. One representing the views, the history and the procedures of the police. The other representing the peak achievements of forensic science. Two voices. Two areas of expertise. One goal: To catch a killer...

Was steckt hinter dem Tod einer jungen Kadettin auf der »Gorch Fock«? Warum wurde ein altes Ehepaar auf Sizilien so heimtückisch ermordet? Spurlos verschwand ein 13-jähriges Mädchen auf dem Weg zur Schule - es gibt zahlreiche Verdächtige, doch was geschah wirklich? In einer Käserei wird die Buchhalterin erstochen: War es die Tat eines Stalkers? Und warum wird ein Junge bereits als Kind zum Gewalttäter und später zum Mörder?
 
 Axel Petermann widmet sich fünf spektakulären Fällen und liefert erstaunliche neue Erkenntnisse. Seine Ermittlungen zeigen: Häufig werden Fälle vorschnell zu den Akten gelegt. Ein ganz besonderes Augenmerk legt er diesmal auf die Psyche der Täter. Was macht Menschen zu Mördern - und wie wählen sie ihre Opfer aus? Der renommierte Kriminalist blickt in menschliche Abgründe und kommt mit den Methoden des Profiling den Verbrechern auf die Spur. Spannender als ein Krimi und beängstigend wahr.
