El hijo del oligarca : Un joven impostor. Una tragedia familiar. Una ciudad devorada por la corrupción

Patrick Radden Keefe's narrative genius unfolds once again as he weaves together the myriad threads surrounding this story of a couple desperately trying to uncover why their nineteen-year-old son, Zac Brettler, jumped from the balcony of the luxurious Thames-side apartment where Verinder Sharma, a violent gangster who would die a year later under murky circumstances, lived. The only other witness, a businessman named Akbar Shamji, added an explosive revelation to the mystery: that Zac, for some reason, had led him and Verinder to believe he was the son of a Russian oligarch. Convinced that there is something much darker behind their son's death, the Brettlers embark on an obsessive search for answers while Scotland Yard seems unable - or unwilling - to solve the case, a search that will expose them to the London of dirty money, corruption and violence that hides beneath the glittering world capital and to the fantasy world built by their teenage son that would end up pushing him into that terrifying underworld.
