Kelli “Gus” Gustafson, the youngest and most determined officer on the Tarpon Springs police force, has a problem most people would love to have: she’s beautiful.

From the founders of the international health-care behemoth Johnson & Johnson in the late 1800s to the contemporary Johnsons of today, such as billionaire New York Jets owner Robert Wood "Woody" Johnson IV, all is revealed in this scrupulously researched, unauthorized biography by New York Times bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer. Often compared to the Kennedy clan because of the tragedies and scandals that had befallen both wealthy and powerful families, Crazy Rich, based on scores of exclusive, candid, on-the-record interviews, reveals how the dynasty's vast fortune was both intoxicating and toxic through the generations of a family that gave the world Band-Aids and Baby Oil. At the same time, they've been termed perhaps the most dysfunctional family in the fortune 500. Oppenheimer is the author of biographies of the Kennedys, the Clintons, the Hiltons and Martha Stewart, among other American icons.
When Jesse's wife asks for a divorce, he is fired from his dream job, and his bookie threatens to kill him over a huge debt--all on the same day. Sadly, Jesse's nightmare is just getting started. Shortly after skipping the country in an attempt to set things right, he stumbles upon a secret he was somehow destined to discover. For some unknown reason, the secret--a priceless relic stolen by world explorer Ibn Battutah from a Buddhist temple seven hundred years ago--crossed three continents and passed through numerous hands to somehow end up in Jesse's unlikely lap. The relic's discovery sets in motion a series of events that will either reunite Jesse with his wife or end both of their lives rather unpleasantly. Jesse wants it all, but as usual, everything he wants seems impossible. He desperately hopes to win back the heart of his wife while seeking the relic, all the while evading both the Chinese mafia and his murderous bookie. In order to redeem himself and be reunited with his love, Jesse must realize what is most important to him and learn how to stay true to the newly learned Buddhist fourth virtue.
