About this audiobook
“A thrilling page-turner about the pursuit of justice” (New York Post), this is the definitive story of the case against Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the corrupt system that supported them, told in thrilling detail by the lawyer who has represented their victims for more than a decade.
In June 2008, Florida-based victims’ rights attorney Bradley J. Edwards was thirty-two years old and had just started his own law firm when a young woman named Courtney Wild came to see him. She told a shocking story of having been sexually coerced at the age of fourteen by a wealthy man in Palm Beach named Jeffrey Epstein. Edwards, who had never heard of Epstein, had no idea that this moment would change the course of his life.
Over the next ten years, Edwards devoted himself to bringing Epstein to justice, and came close to losing everything in the process. Edwards tracked down and represented more than twenty of Epstein’s victims, shined a light on his shadowy network of accomplices, including Ghislaine Maxwell, and uncovered the scope of his sexually exploitative organization, which reached into the highest levels of American society.
In this “revelatory exploration of the long fight to bring a monstrous man to justice” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Edwards gives his riveting, blow-by-blow account of battling Epstein on behalf of his clients, and provides stunning details never shared before. Epstein and his cadre of high-priced lawyers were able to manipulate the FBI and the Justice Department, but despite making threats and attempting schemes straight out of a spy movie, Epstein couldn’t stop Edwards, his small team of committed lawyers, and, most of all, the victims, who were dead-set on seeing their abuser finally put behind bars.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very very informative book, It really told The Whole story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great! Recommended!
Very informative- from the lawyer who went after him. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a very narrow account of the Jeffrey Epstein business. Just a court case in Palm Beach really. Not much on his rich patrons,the Island, the NY townhouse, New Mexico ranch, Paris apartment, support web of people, transportation, political activity, and cover this obvious world-wide honeypot scheme involved.
Just a cat and mouse court case. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Interesting, informative, well-written and narrated!
Awful person-hard to believe he existed! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beyond belief .
Reads like a thriller. Recommend this to all.
