Hard-hitting investigative journalist and former NYPD detective John Connolly
passed away on Saturday at 78.

The cop-turned-scribe was known among media insiders for his unending Rolodex,
and a unique ability to mix among Hollywood execs and stars, Wall Street
rainmakers, pols, police and wiseguys alike.

Connolly was a co-author with James Patterson of the 2017 book “Filthy Rich: The
Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein — The Billionaire’s Sex Scandal,” which
was turned into a Netflix series.

He was also a contributor during his career to magazines including Spy, Vanity
Fair, Premiere, US Weekly, Radar and New York, and penned prominent pieces on
Steven Seagal, Heidi Fleiss, Donald Trump, Michael Jackson and Arnold
Schwarzenegger, among others.

He’d also appeared in the documentary “Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?” for
Investigation Discovery. Connolly told The Post in 2020 of his findings on
Epstein over the years: “Like all good grifters, he had ways of moving people in
directions where they shouldn’t go … Once they did, they were screwed.”

JEFFREY EPSTEIN: FILTHY RICH | OFFICIAL TRAILER | NETFLIX

As an author, Connolly had been working on a new book on infamous LA private
eye Anthony Pellicano to be called “The Sin Eater.” Pellicano was released in
2019 from federal prison after 16 years behind bars for wiretapping and
racketeering. Before Pellicano was incarcerated, he’d worked for some of
Hollywood’s biggest names, including late Paramount studio boss Brad Grey,
former CAA power agent Michael Ovitz, and the “King of Pop” himself, Jackson.

John Connolly dug up Jeffrey Epstein’s scheme to reap millions from Johnson &
Johnson heiress Libet Johnson.Amazon
John Connolly and James Patterson detailed Jeffrey Epstein’s rise to prominence
in their book “Filthy Rich: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein — The
Billionaire’s Sex Scandal.”Amazon

A pal recalled that when Pellicano once confronted Connolly, the tough-as-nails
author with a wry wit told him: “Meet me at [famed store] Book Soup in LA, bring
your Spalding, I’m bringing my Louisville Slugger.”

Connolly’s longtime partner, music industry veteran Dorothy Carvello, confirmed
to The Post that Connolly passed after a brief illness. There will be a memorial
service this spring.
