Description
Patrick Radden Keefe is Tom's favourite non-fiction writer. When people ask for 'non-fiction that reads like fiction', they are really asking for a Radden Keefe.
As his new book, London Falling, is published, here is our binge-worthy boxset of four of his backlist:
- Say Nothing - If you want to understand “the Troubles” or need some reading ahead of a trip to Ireland or Northern Ireland, look no further than Say Nothing. Somehow it is at once a brilliant primer on that bitter conflict and a thrilling page-turner.
- Empire of Pain - this expose of the Sackler family’s role at the heart of America’s opioid epidemic is both shocking and highly readable.
- The Snakehead - the story of Cheng Chui Ping – aka Sister Ping – who ran a multimillion-dollar people-smuggling business from a noodle shop in Chinatown.
- Rogues - the best of Radden Keefe’s New Yorker reportage. From a vintage-wine fraud to the Dutch gangsters behind the kidnapping of one of the Heineken family, they are masterpieces of literary journalism.
