Bradley J. Edwards’s book Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein is essentially a first‑person chronicle of his decade‑plus legal battle against Jeffrey Epstein and the system that protected him.booksrun+1
Edwards is a Florida‑based, board‑certified civil trial attorney who specializes in representing crime victims and survivors of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.attorneyatlawmagazine+2
He became best known for representing dozens of Epstein’s sex‑trafficking victims (more than 20 as clients in the early years, and ultimately over 60 survivors overall in various Epstein‑related matters).simonandschuster+2
The book’s full title explicitly frames it as his account of fighting for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, and every major narrative strand is tied to Epstein’s abuse and the efforts to hold him and his enablers accountable.ddgbooks+2
It covers how, starting around 2008, Edwards tracked down and represented Epstein’s victims in Florida, New York, Europe, and on Epstein’s Caribbean island, documenting the scope of Epstein’s “sexually exploitative organization.”labyrinthbooks+3
Edwards describes how Epstein and his high‑powered legal team tried to neutralize him through threats, surveillance‑style tactics, and countersuits, making Edwards one of the few adversaries Epstein genuinely feared might “take him down.”barnesandnoble+3
After the secret 2007–2008 non‑prosecution agreement (NPA) brokered by then‑U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, Edwards filed a federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA) lawsuit arguing that prosecutors had violated the law by not informing at least 36 identified underage victims of the deal.wikipedia+1
Over more than a decade of litigation, Edwards pursued this CVRA case pro bono; in February 2019 a federal judge agreed that the government had violated Epstein victims’ rights by keeping the NPA secret.crimevictimlawfirm+3
Relentless Pursuit recounts this CVRA fight as a core thread, using it to expose how Epstein’s money and connections helped him manipulate the FBI and the Justice Department to obtain extraordinarily lenient treatment.cbsnews+3
Edwards uses the cases he handled to “shine a light” on Epstein’s network of accomplices and facilitators, including Ghislaine Maxwell, and argues that the operation reached “the highest levels of American society.”simonandschuster+3
The book offers previously unpublished details (as advertised by the publisher and press coverage) on how Epstein’s operation functioned across locations, victims’ recruitment patterns, and the role of well‑connected associates.booksrun+3
Beyond the period covered in Relentless Pursuit, Edwards has continued to lead major Epstein‑related civil litigation, including serving as lead counsel in suits against banks (JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank) accused of facilitating Epstein’s sex‑trafficking operation.podcasts.apple+1
Those later cases produced large settlements (hundreds of millions of dollars) for Epstein survivors and are part of the same “relentless pursuit” the book narrates in its earlier phases.crimevictimlawfirm+1
If you’d like, I can next map specific chapters or episodes in Relentless Pursuit to particular known events in the broader Epstein timeline (e.g., NPA, 2019 arrest, Maxwell charges).
