CHARLESTON, S.C., Jan. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The newest nonfiction release from Palmetto Publishing proves that no one truly knows what goes on behind the closed doors of private clubs in America.
Set in the elite social circles of River City’s Wellington Heights Social Club, Alexander Benjamin Hart recounts his real-life experience as a CEO who blew the whistle on fraud, discrimination, oppression and unethical practices within a revered nonprofit and private club.
“It’s a courageous story of truth, betrayal, and moral reckoning that will resonate with readers who value justice and transparency,” said the author.
Bursting with twists and shocking reveals, When Money and Power Do Not Buy Class or Integrity carries a bold tone that shakes the foundations of its subjects’ unchecked greed. Focused on both the whistleblowing moments and the deeper-seeded issues of systemic corruption and racial discrimination, this book provides a unique introspective dynamic with tense narratives and a defiant voice.
