Nigel Cawthorne

    27. marec 1951

    Tento anglo-americký autor je známy svojím rozsiahlym dielom v oblasti beletrie aj literatúry faktu. Jeho práca sa často zameriava na populárnu históriu, prezentovanú vo forme hutných kompilácií bez formálnych akademických odkazov. Sám opisuje svoje tvorivé prostredie ako „továreň na písanie kníh“, kde mnohé jeho diela vznikli na základe zákaziek. Jedno z jeho najvýraznejších diel, kontroverzná autobiografia hudobníka, vyvolalo po svojom vydaní dlhoročné súdne spory.

    • Virginia (Roberts) Fiuffre had nothing. Her all-American childhood came to an abrupt end by sexual abuse when she was 7. After her mother exiled her to a school for troubled youths, she ran away to a life on the streets until the FBI rescued her from a violent pedophile at the age of 14. Finally, her luck seemed to turn with a summer job as spa attendant at Donald Trump's exlucsive Mar-a-Lago in Florida. It was here that the young girl was hunted by elegant jet-setter Ghislaine Maxwell who said her millionaire partner Jeffrey Epstein would sponsor her to become a professional masseuse... This is the first book to tell Virginia's own extraordinary tale as an abused, penniless high-school drop-out forced into sadomasochism and how she was able to outsmart her two rich underage-sex predators and forced an end to their crimes
