## Resource

Today on The Stacks, I’m joined by award-winning  New Yorker  staff writer,  New York Times  best-selling author, and investigative journalist, Patrick Radden Keefe, to talk about his newest book,  London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family’s Search for Truth . Set in London, this true crime story chronicles the sudden death of 19-year-old Zac Brettler and his family’s quest to uncover the details of his secret double life. Today, we discuss how Patrick balances sources' expectations with his own integrity, the connection between his reading habits and his writing, and the meaning behind the title. The Stacks Book Club pick for April is  Room Swept Home  by Remica Bingham-Risher. We’ll be discussing the book with Mahogany L. Browne on Wednesday, April 29.
