A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein

Book Description

A must-read for fans of the Netflix docuseries Filthy Rich: The full investigation of the shocking death of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and those powerful enough to have orchestrated it.

In A Convenient Death, investigative reporters Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper search for the truth of what really happened to Jeffrey Epstein. With access to Epstein’s victims and lawyers, to doctors, Wall Street insiders and law enforcement officers, they reveal the dirty secrets and sinister ties that may have driven someone in Epstein’s circle to take matters into their own hands.

On the morning of August 10, 2019, Epstein, friend and financier to the rich and powerful, was found unresponsive in his prison cell in lower Manhattan, where he awaited his second trial for sexual predation and other crimes. He was rushed to a local hospital and one hour later pronounced dead by suicide. Across the world, a sinister web of powerful billionaires, celebrities, and politicians, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, had reason to sigh with relief at news of Epstein’s death. Having flown on his private planes and visited his many homes—the sites of so many illicit activities—they had much to lose if their transgressions were ever exposed. And now, Epstein was silenced for good.

But cracks in the official story soon emerged. And the questions kept coming:
·    Why did the surveillance cameras in front of Epstein’s cell stop working that night?
·    Why was Epstein’s cellmate transferred out and never replaced?
·    Why was a high-profile prisoner so suddenly taken off suicide watch and left unguarded for eight hours?

Was Epstein murdered to protect the powerful people who feared what he might reveal? The American public deserves to know the truth. With this book, they can finally understand the facts and decide for themselves.

书名：A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein

这是Netflix纪录片《肮脏的富人：关于亿万富翁杰弗里·爱泼斯坦令人震惊的死亡事件以及那些足够强大的人策划死亡的全面调查》的必读读物。

In 一个方便的死亡，调查记者Alana Goodman和Daniel Halper寻找杰弗里·爱泼斯坦到底发生了什么的真相。通过与爱泼斯坦的受害者和律师、医生、华尔街内部人士和执法人员接触，他们揭露了肮脏的秘密和邪恶的联系，这些可能促使爱泼斯坦圈子里的某个人自己动手。

2019年8月10日上午，有钱有势的朋友和金融家爱泼斯坦在曼哈顿下城的牢房里被发现反应迟钝，他在那里等待因性掠夺和其他罪行的第二次审判。他被紧急送往当地医院，一小时后被宣布自杀身亡。在世界各地，强大的亿万富翁、名人和政客组成的邪恶网络，包括比尔和希拉里·克林顿，有理由在听到爱泼斯坦去世的消息后松一口气。在乘坐他的私人飞机并访问了他的许多住所–许多非法活动的地点–之后，如果他们的违法行为被曝光，他们会损失很大。现在，爱泼斯坦被永远地沉默了。

但官方的说法很快就出现了裂痕。问题接踵而至：
·问：为什么爱泼斯坦牢房前的监控摄像头当晚停止工作？
·问：为什么爱泼斯坦的狱友被调走了，从来没有换过？
·问：为什么一名备受瞩目的囚犯突然离开自杀观察，八个小时无人看守？

爱泼斯坦被谋杀是为了保护那些担心他可能会曝光的有权势的人吗？美国公众有权知道真相。有了这本书，他们最终可以了解事实，自己做出决定。
