American author
James Patterson, the bestselling author, appears in the Epstein documents primarily in connection with his 2016 book about Jeffrey Epstein co-written with journalist John Connolly. The documents include email forwards about the book's release and excerpts from the published work itself.
Patterson appears in these documents in three distinct ways: First, as the author of excerpted passages from his 2016 book 'Filthy Rich: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein,' which were included in the House Oversight Committee's collection. Second, in email communications forwarded to Epstein's associates warning about the book's upcoming October 2016 release and its coverage of federal investigations. Third, in Palm Beach property records showing Patterson owned real estate at 560 S Ocean Blvd, relatively near Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. The majority of mentions are simply citations of his authorship on book excerpts that detail Epstein's history, the police investigation, and accounts from victims.
