“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.

Ratings and reviews

"Filthy Rich", James Patterson Sheds light on Jeffrey Epstein life's. A story of how Jeffrey Epstein a man who came from practically nothing (mysteriously)became a billionaire. This book provides insight of how his money bought him freedom, despite his guilt. And also has an interesting storyline of the victims, and their struggles. With additional photos of some of the victims, as well as people just as bad as Epstein himself. Whether you have or haven't heard of this (True) story, I suggest you read it. You may learn a thing or two.

This is a very disturbing story. The beginning of the book has page after page of very explicite sexual abuse of minor females. I understand the author wanted to give the reader the full idea but I felt like a disturbed person reading such description. When I got passed the long begining it was interesting but ultimately sad. No justice for the past victims, nothing to stop turning out victims now or in the future.

Finally this book is advertised to the people. A testament to how people like him and James Alefantes can be considered to be the most influential people in Washington without being politicians and invisible because of the mainstream media.
