A sudden resurgence of interest in Jeffrey Epstein, and unanswered questions about his crimes, has been measurable this month in book sales, Netflix streams and YouTube searches. The data points to deep public curiosity in Epstein’s underage sex trafficking operation, and a possible government coverup, at a time when President Trump is trying to shift attention away from the topic. Old copies of investigative reporter Julie K. Brown’s 2021 book “Perversion of Justice,” about Epstein, have been snapped up by buyers in recent weeks, leaving the book out of stock all across the web, from Amazon and Barnes & Noble to smaller and independent shops. Brown said she has been hearing from interested buyers who can’t find any print copies. “I’m told the publisher is printing more copies,” she wrote on X to people who have been asking. HarperCollins, the publisher, confirmed to CNN that the book is now entering its third printing.
