I Know This Sounds Crazy - Paperback

by James Poulos (Author)

"The first time I read this novel I was one hundred pages in before I realized it wasn't a memoir written anonymously by some poor victim of our lustful, pathological super-elites. This is a scary accomplishment, this book, because it could be true but shouldn't be. Guard your soul and plunge in." -Walter Kirn

Drawn at the height of the 1990s into the looking-glass universe of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, Kayley begins a journey of dark discovery through the fake identities, toxic lovers, and impossible assignments of the transatlantic underworld.

As the Epstein operation collapses, pulling Kayley and America down with it, the killer circuit of superyachts and private jets brings her home at last, now in hiding, to pass deeply personal judgment on a past with no escape - achingly vulnerable one moment, coldly calculating the next.

Through it all Kayley lays bare the power and glamor used to betray generations of women and men - and to corrupt countless girls and boys.

Proof that each look behind the curtain has its price, I Know This Sounds Crazy tears the mask off of a world we always knew was beyond what we dared believe.
