This is the definitive story of the case against Jeffrey Epstein
and the corrupt system that supported him, told in thrilling detail
by the lawyer who has represented Epstein's 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, and
shined a light on his network of contacts and friends, among them
Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew.
Edwards gives his riveting, blow-by-blow account of battling
Epstein on behalf of his clients, and provides stunning details
never shared before. He explains how he followed Epstein's criminal
enterprise from Florida, to New York, to Europe, to a Caribbean
island, and, in the process, became the one person Epstein most
feared could take him down. 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. This is the
definitive account of the Epstein saga, personally told by the
gutsy lawyer who took on one of the most brazen sexual criminals in
the history of the US, and exposed the corrupt system that let him
get away with it for far too long.
