Synopsis

HUNTING GHISLAINE tells the extraordinary, shocking story of Ghislaine Maxwell, the former partner of disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and the daughter of media baron Robert Maxwell.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who suffered a tragedy, the death of her father, a war hero, a philanthropist, a good man, in suspicious circumstances. She fled to New York where she made a new life with a brilliant mathematician. Her name is Ghislaine Maxwell and her lover was Jeffrey Epstein. Through Jeffrey, and her family name, Ghislaine became friends with some of the most powerful people on earth, ex-President Bill Clinton and President-to-be Donald Trump and the second son of the Queen of England, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.

But this is no fairy tale. HUNTING GHISLAINE sets out the other side of the story, and it's one of the darkest you will ever read.

Ghislaine's father, Robert Maxwell, was a sadist, a war criminal, a monster. His cruelty deformed Ghislaine Maxwell long before she met Jeffrey Epstein. Her one-time lover was convicted for being a paedophile. So Ghislaine's life has been spent serving not one monster but two.

In HUNTING GHISLAINE, legendary investigative journalist John Sweeney uncovers the truth behind
this fairy tale story in reverse.

Goodreads review by Rob

Fall: The Mystery of Robert Maxwell was the best of the 70 non-fiction books I finished last year. Maxwell is a fascinating character, a spider who preyed on his fellow species. I treated this book as a sort of sequel, although it's not intended to be and it's obviously by a different author. Hunting......more

Goodreads review by Deirdre

This is a book on the same subject as a podcast made by John Sweeney. Though I'm not familiar with the podcast, Sweeney is a well-known and pretty fearless investigative journalist, who seems to be particularly drawn toward exposing wanton abuses of power, money, and influence. While he has famously......more
