Filthy Rich by James Patterson

So shocking it wasn’t originally published – available for the first time in the UK. Filthy Rich is the definitive account of how Jeffrey Epstein used money, power and privilege to abuse girls and evade justice for years.

The book behind the headlines.
The story the powerful hoped would disappear.

Written by the world’s bestselling storyteller James Patterson, this is the original and definitive account of how Epstein built his fortune, abused his power, and evaded justice for years – hiding in plain sight among the global elite.

Drawing on original police interviews, court documents and victims’ testimonies, the book traces the earliest investigations, Epstein’s guilty plea and the shockingly lenient sentence that allowed his crimes to continue. Filthy Rich is also a chilling examination of how power protects itself – and how institutions failed those most vulnerable.

An instant New York Times bestseller and the basis of the hit Netflix documentary series, this updated edition includes a new introduction covering Epstein’s final arrest and death in custody.
