The Spider: Inside...Maxwell

Investigative journalist Barry Levine has 4.4 out of 5 stars with 582 ratings with this well-researched exposé.

Who was Jeffrey Epstein? Pres. Don "the John" Trump has called the ongoing interest in the child prostitution details about Epstein’s web of powerful sex trafficking clients and enablers a Democrat “hoax.”

But this book by a Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist delivers the most comprehensive account yet of the disgraced financier’s sex life and [fake] death, revealing a criminal [blackmailing] enterprise that stretched over decades.

“An exhaustively detailed look at the life, death, and alleged crimes of Epstein, along with his [15] years-long friendship with Trump in the 1990s and early 2000s—and how Trump’s ascendancy to the presidency ultimately helped expose Epstein.”

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 [Jewish] 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 [having faked his] death [after returning to his hideout on Pedophile Island, Little Saint James, US Virgin Island, and been photographed and videotaped there by drone].

What is known is that he had amassed nearly [actually much more than] $600 million by the time of his death [much of which he absconded with with the help of powerful figures in the government].

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 [molestation resort] island.
