Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
He was the billionaire financier and close confidant of presidents, prime ministers, movie stars, and British royalty, the mysterious self-made man who rose from blue-collar Brooklyn to the heights of luxury. But while he was flying around the world on his private jet and hosting lavish parties at his private island in the Caribbean, he also was secretly masterminding an international child sex ring-one that may have involved the richest and most influential men in the world.

Story5 out of 5 stars 6
In June 2008, Florida-based victims’ rights attorney Bradley J. Edwards was 32-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 14 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 10 years, Edwards devoted himself to bringing Epstein to justice, and came close to losing everything in the process.

TrafficKing uncovers a child sex trafficking case of epic proportions and the longest-running human trafficking case in US legal history - more poignant than the Lewinsky case, Watergate scandal, and Profumo affair combined. Eleven years after the registered level-3 sex offender was arrested, four cases associated with his 2005 criminal investigation remain open. The pedophile was not prosecuted under The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), a law enacted in Florida in 2000. In this gripping exposé, Sarnoff finds out why.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was a devoted family man and a psychopathic killer; a terrible enemy, yet a wonderful friend. While donating millions to the poor, he bombed and tortured his enemies - some had their eyeballs removed with hot spoons. Through ruthless cunning and America's insatiable appetite for cocaine, he became a multi-billionaire, who lived in a $100-million house with its own zoo.

Publisher's Summary
Who was Jeffrey Epstein? A Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist unearths never-before-reported details in the most comprehensive account yet of the disgraced financier’s life, death, and criminal web, including the role of Ghislaine Maxwell.
An ID Book Club Selection • Featured in the Peacock original documentary series Epstein’s Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell
By now, the basic contours of Jeffrey Epstein’s horrendous crimes - his decades-long serial abuse of young women and underage girls - are familiar. But for all that has been written about Epstein since his shocking death in a lower Manhattan jail cell, an astonishing amount remains unknown. A shy Brooklyn kid turned renegade financier, Jeffrey Epstein never wanted to play by the rules of polite society. He was elusive in life and he has remained just as elusive in death.
What is known is that he had amassed nearly $600 million by the time of his death. That fortune allowed Epstein to pursue a privileged, secretive life, jetting between his fortress-like homes in Manhattan, New Mexico, and Little St. James, his private island. Behind these closed doors, Epstein socialized with scientists and world leaders and preyed on powerless young women.
In The Spider, Barry Levine shines a light into the darkest corners of Epstein’s world, including
- Epstein’s young adulthood and earliest accusations of sexual misconduct
- the murky sources of Epstein’s fortune and business dealings
- Epstein’s circle of confidantes and employees, particularly the nature of his long relationship with socialite Ghislaine Maxwell
- his ties to powerful men, including Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Les Wexner, and Donald Trump
- Epstein’s last hours as a free man in Paris and the secret operation to arrest him at a New Jersey airport before he could flee
- new details on Epstein’s final days in jail and the mystery surrounding his death
The Spider exposes how Epstein operated and evaded justice for so long - and how he drew so many others into his criminal web.
What the critics say
“[The Spider] delves into the late financier and convicted sex offender’s ‘criminal web.’”—Vanity Fair
“An exhaustively detailed look at the life, death, and alleged crimes of Epstein, along with his years-long friendship with Trump in the 1990s and early 2000s—and how Trump’s ascendancy to the presidency ultimately helped expose Epstein.”—Forbes
“Explosive.”—New York Post

Author is Obsessed with Trump
Robert Petkoff does an incredible job with the narration and the story is interesting, but the author is beyond obsessed with Donald Trump and tries desperately to bring him into the story many, many times without any direct activity related to Trump.

Onesided
The author managed to write about about trump using Epstein as the central story. Conveniently, not a word about clinton. A waste of time

the Sickness of Too Much Money
when childrens' innocence is paid for and the same money is used to buy protection from the most basic laws, there is no end to the viscious cycle of debauchery.

VERY DETAILED. BEST ACCOUNT YET!
I have read, watched, and heard many different accounts of Epstein but this one was the most detailed and with the most facts from the people involved. I feel that I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge of this case than ever before. I highly recommend!!

Regurgitation of the known
The book was a recap of mostly what is known. Not my favorite but not the worst.
Really odd focus on trump to tell the story while clinton is taken off the hook. I dont do politics so that was a bit transparent.

Lots of Information
The story is depressing in how the system is so slated to the rich and powerful. I found this book interesting and filled with tons of information on both Epstein and those in his orbit. A shockingly sad tale of how the justice system fails at punishing those with extreme wealth. Good read, I do recommend it as a look into American jurisprudence.
