James Patterson

"Filthy Rich" är den definitiva berättelsen om Jeffrey Epstein – mannen som rörde sig obehindrat i världens maktelit samtidigt som han byggde upp ett systematiskt övergrepp i det fördolda. Från enkla förhållanden tog han sig hela vägen till de mest exklusiva kretsarna i New York och Palm Beach. Där skapade han inte bara en förmögenhet – utan också ett nätverk av inflytande som skyddade honom. Med journalistisk precision och ett driv som gjort James Patterson till en av världens mest lästa författare, blottlägger boken hur pengar, kontakter och tystnad möjliggjorde ett av vår tids mest chockerande rättsfall. Här finns polisförhör, vittnesmål och detaljer från utredningen – men också en större berättelse om makt, ansvar och systematiskt svek. Det här är inte bara historien om en man. Det är historien om ett system som lät honom fortsätta. En internationell bästsäljare som hyllats för sitt tempo, sin research och sin obevekliga blick – och som ger hela bilden, tio år senare. James Patterson skrev denna bok 2016 tillsammans med de grävande journalisterna John Connolly och Tim Malloy. Nu, tio år senare, kommer en reviderad och utökad utgåva – med ett nyskrivet förord och nya kapitel som tar berättelsen vidare från 2016 fram till i dag. "Upplägget är journalistiskt och dokumentärt, byggt på omfattande research och ett stort antal offentliga källor. Trots ämnets allvar är språket lättillgängligt och berättelsen drivs framåt med ett tydligt tempo som gör boken engagerande. Författarna lyckas på ett pedagogiskt sätt ge en överblick över ett komplext nätverk av personer, händelser och juridiska processer utan att det blir svårt att följa med som läsare. Framställningen bygger huvudsakligen på dokumenterade händelser och vittnesmål, och är kritisk mot de maktstrukturer och samhällssystem som möjliggjorde Epsteins brottslighet. För samhällsintresserade läsare och personer med intresse för grävande journalistik erbjuder boken både fördjupning och sammanhang. Helhetsintrycket är en välskriven och genomarbetad dokumentation av ett av vår tids mest uppmärksammade rättsfall." BTJ

Epstein, eliitit ja heidän uhrinsa. Miljardööri ja seksuaalirikollinen Jeffrey Epsteinin järkyttävä tarina. Jeffrey Epstein nousi vaatimattomista oloista New Yorkin ja Palm Beachin eliittiin. Hän jätti yliopisto-opintonsa kesken, mutta hänellä oli erinomainen laskupää ja hän oli taitava ihmistuntija. Epstein rikastui näillä taidoilla ja solmi suhteita monille tahoille. Vielä rahaa ja statusta saatuaankin Epstein oli kyltymätön. Vuosien jälkeen alkoi paljastua hänen pimeä puolensa - mieltymys alaikäisiin tyttöihin, joka lopulta johti seksuaalista hyväksikäyttöä koskeviin kanteisiin. Epstein myönsi syyllisyytensä, mutta sai pöyristyttävän lievän rangaistuksen. Kirjassa on mukana Epsteinia hyväksikäytöstä syyttäneiden naisten poliisikuulusteluja ja yksityiskohtia Epsteinista tehdystä esitutkinnasta. Teos julkaistiin alun perin vuonna 2016 Yhdysvalloissa, ja se on nyt päivitetty ja tarkistettu. Ensimmäistä kertaa suomeksi julkaistavassa kirjassa valotetaan myös Epsteinin vuonna 2019 tutkintavankeudessa tekemää itsemurhaa ja hänen kuolemansa jälkeisiä hämmästyttäviä tapahtumia, muun muassa seuraamuksia hänen lähipiirilleen, esimerkiksi Ghislaine Maxwellille ja Andrew Mountbatten-Windsorille. Lisäksi kerrotaan siitä rohkeasta kamppailusta, jolla Epsteinin uhrit yrittävät saada äänensä kuuluviin, sekä Yhdysvaltain oikeusministeriön kiistaa herättäneistä toimista Epsteinin sähköpostien ja papereiden osittaisessa julkaisemisessa. Yhdysvaltalainen James Patterson on yksi aikamme luetuimmista romaanikirjailijoista. Hänet tunnetaan muun muassa Alex Cross -sarjastaan. Hän on kirjoittanut myös paljon tietokirjoja.
