Why did the house manager circle Donald Trump’s name? In 2009, before he turned his attention to Epstein, Bryant published a small-press book called After a mutual acquaintance pointed me in Bryant’s direction, I gave him a call to talk about Epstein, the black book, and where he thinks all of this might be headed.A guy like Epstein doesn’t stop. The strange and mysterious and still unknown circumstances of his suicide, the celebrity names that swirled around him, Manhattan and Palm Beach real estate, secluded islands and western ranches.

Under-age sex also provides better blackmailing potential for the pimps. All the elements are there: big-name celebrities from around the world, straying and corrupt politicians, a fantasy Caribbean island, a western ranch, a posh Manhattan townhouse, and a private jet called the “Lolita Express.” All glitz and glamor… except that it’s not!At its heart, this is a story of sex trafficking in underage girls, child abuse, and young victims whose lives will be forever haunted by Epstein and his pals.With that other story as background, Bryant, who was the first to publish Epstein’s “little black book,” looks at this sordid story in the context of the human damage done by Epstein and his fellow perpetrators.
