HOME TO BILLIONAIRES and their yachts, Turner Island is one of the wealthiest places on Earth.

For a charismatic preacher who shelters the homeless and addicted, it's a sinful symbol of the growing chasm between the haves and have-nots.

On a pleasant July morning, Charles Caprice and his followers seize control of the island and its riches. With authorities poised to respond, a global audience wonders: Is Caprice a modern-day Robin Hood or sophisticated con artist?

Jeremy Stone is the only reporter allowed to witness the siege. When the jaded journalist discovers what's really going on, will he expose the truth - or stay silent to protect himself from the demons of his past?

The Have-Nots is a riveting tale of suspense that will keep you guessing until the final pages.
