OverviewNow a #1 Netflix documentary series. Get the full shocking story about billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in this #1 New York Times bestselling and definitive book. Jeffrey Epstein rose from humble origins into the New York City and Palm Beach elite. A college dropout with an instinct for numbers -- and for people -- Epstein amassed his wealth through a combination of access and skill. But even after he had it all, Epstein wanted more. That unceasing desire -- and especially a taste for underage girls --resulted in sexual-abuse charges, to which he pleaded guilty and received a shockingly lenient sentence. Included here are police interviews with girls who have alleged sexual abuse by Epstein, details of the investigation against him, and a new introduction with up-to-the-minute developments on the case, including Epstein's death by suicide. An explosive true story from the world's most popular thriller writer, FILTHY RICH is a riveting tale of wealth, power, and the easy price of justice for America's wealthiest citizens.

Table of ContentsReviews"It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page. Simply put: Nobody does it better.-- ""Jeffrey Deaver"" James Patterson is The Boss. End of.-- ""Ian Rankin"" ""The picture painted of Jeffrey Epstein--and the abuse and miscarriages of justice--in this white-collar crime account will haunt listeners...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."" -- ""Washington Post (audio review)"" ""When Patterson's book Filthy Rich was published, he was surprised at the lack of attention given to what he considered a 'monster of a case.' The attention arrived last week following Epstein's arrest on new sex-trafficking charges in New York."" -- ""New Yorker"" Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent--which is what James Patterson has, in spades.""--Lee Child James Patterson isthe gold standard by which all others are judged.--Steve Berry Patterson has mastered the art of writing page-turning bestsellers.--Chicago Sun-Times Patterson is in a class by himself.-- Vanity Fair Patterson's books might as well come with movie tickets as a bonus feature.--New York Times The man who can't miss.--TIME magazine" Author InformationJames Patterson received the Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community at the 2015 National Book Awards.
