#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.

ジェームズ・パターソンらが放つ本作は、富と権力が歪める現代社会の病理を暴き出した衝撃の書です。膨大な記録を基に、正義が金で買える冷酷な現実を突きつける筆致は、読者の倫理観を激しく揺さぶります。文字から溢れ出す被害者の叫びと権力の傲慢さは、一級の社会派文学としての重厚な魅力を放っています。 ドキュメンタリー映像が証言者の表情を伝えるのに対し、原作はシステムの腐敗構造を緻密なテキストで深掘りしています。視覚的な生々しさと、読書がもたらす深い洞察のシナジーこそが、この巨大な闇を理解する鍵となります。活字でしか到達し得ない戦慄の深層を、ぜひその身で体感してください。
