James Brendan Patterson is an American author and philanthropist, one of the bestselling authors of all time. In 2016, Patterson co-authored "Filthy Rich: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein" with John Connolly and Tim Malloy. The book was one of the first comprehensive published accounts of Epstein's crimes, drawing on interviews with victims, police, and attorneys. Patterson, who has a residence in Palm Beach near Epstein's former home, became interested in the case through local coverage and was one of the first prominent figures to help bring public attention to Epstein's activities. The book was later adapted into a Lifetime movie.
Born in Newburgh, New York. Worked in advertising at J. Walter Thompson before becoming a full-time author.
Patterson's "Filthy Rich" was published three years before Epstein's 2019 arrest and was one of the first mainstream books to detail the scandal. He has sold over 400 million books worldwide.
