#1 New York Times Bestseller
From the world's #1 bestselling author, Filthy Rich—the book that exposed Jeffrey Epstein’s shocking exploits as a multi-millionaire pedophile—now with an updated Author's Note and Afterword.
“Much more than a true crime book.” —Town & Country
Charismatic college dropout Jeffrey Epstein amassed a huge fortune by expertly manipulating numbers, people, law, and decency—even after becoming a convicted sex offender. Then in 2019, Epstein was found dead in his jail cell. Before he could stand trial. Before his hundreds of victims could confront him.
Featuring original police interviews and court transcripts, details of the criminal investigations and new material contextualizing the case, this riveting yet harrowing tale of wealth, power, and the easy price of justice for America’s wealthiest citizens reveals what we didn’t understand then—and what we know today.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The picture painted of Jeffrey Epstein and the abuse and miscarriages of justice in this white-collar crime account will haunt listeners. The authors stick with evidence they uncovered rather than delving too deep into whys and wherefores. The story covers Epstein's upbringing, financial exploits, extravagant sexual misconduct involving the solicitation of underage girls (of which he was found guilty), and how he attempted to cover his tracks during the investigation and bypassed real punishment for his crimes. Culp reads with a deep, coarse voice that draws out the raw and malicious elements of this true crime tale, but can quickly alter his voice to convey the emotions in the quotes from victims. His pacing and emphasis draw out the tension and heighten the drama. A Little, Brown hardcover.
