Palm Beach author James Patterson, who’s better known for his Alex Cross fiction, is finishing a non-fiction book about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal (Splash News photo)
PALM BEACH — Best-selling Alex Cross fiction author James Pattersonis putting the finishing touch on a non-fiction tome that’s supposed to demystify– in detail — the underage-sex scandal that ensnared millionaire Palm Beacher Jeffrey Epstein.
It’s a neighborhood thing: Epstein, who was accused in 2005 of having sex with underage suburban West Palm Beach girls as young as 15, happens to own a mansion less than a mile away from Patterson’s sprawling oceanfronter in Palm Beach.
The book, published by the usually staid Little, Brown and Co., is due out in the early fall, right on time for the presidential election.

“If Hillary (Clinton) is the Democratic nominee and she’s close to getting elected, the book could have a huge impact on her campaign,” a source close to Patterson tells Gossip Extra.
Why?
Patterson, who’s using notes from former New York Police Detective and Vanity Fair contributor John Connolly as well as a local private eye, has been especially interested in the flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, papers that became public in a series of civil lawsuits brought by victims against Epstein.

They showed that not only did the financier use the plane to fly underage girls from Europe to Palm Beach once he tired of the local “talent,” but he also used it to fly some of his friends, including former President Bill Clinton.
While Epstein was accused of recruiting usually-troubled teens from the Royal Palm Beach area to massage him while he masturbated in his mansion at 358 El Brillo Way, he ended up serving 13 months in a county jail — mostly at night.
He was allowed to leave during to day to return to El Brillo, allegedly for work.
Once released, Epstein had to register as a sex offender. He has to register his new address every time he moves and can be tracked down here.....
Jeffrey Epstein is not letting his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a teenager interfere with his lifestyle.
But instead of having his assistants troll local high schools, the billionaire money manager — and registered sex offender — is importing his playmates from Russia, my source says.
A recent visitor tells me Epstein has a house full of young beauties at his East 71st Street mansion. “Half of them are from the former Soviet Union and the other half are a mix of Americans and Europeans,” said my source.
Although all the women appeared to be at least 17, the age of consent in New York state, they were all several decades younger than 63-year-old Epstein, the visitor said.
Epstein apparently has contacts in Moscow who provide matchmaking services for both his “orgy island” in the Caribbean (which he jokingly dubbed Little St. Jeff’s) and his Manhattan townhouse.
“When the Russian girls arrive in the city, they already have Jeffrey’s phone number,” said my source.
One procurer, Peter Listerman, claims in TV interviews that he introduced many oligarchs and A-listers to Russian models, and says: “I’m not a pimp, just [a] matchmaker.”
Listerman, or a dead ringer in an Astrakhan fur hat, was photographed entering Epstein’s mansion in January.
