Synopsis
'If there were a Nobel Prize for storytelling, Archer would win' – The Daily Telegraph
First published 50 years ago, Jeffrey Archer's first ever novel, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, is a page-turning tale of fraud, revenge and determination as four men stop at nothing to get back what was stolen from them. It was an international success, lauching Jeffrey's standing as a stalwart in the thriller genre.
DON'T GET MEAN. GET EVEN.
One million dollars – that's what Harvey Metcalfe, lifelong king of shady deals, has pulled off with empty promises of an oil bonanza and instant riches.
Overnight, four men – the heir to an earldom, a Harley Street doctor, a Bond Street art dealer and an Oxford don – find themselves penniless.
But this time Harvey has swindled the wrong men.
They band together and shadow him from the casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes windows at Ascot and the hallowed lawns of Oxford.
Their plan is simple: to sting the crook for exactly what they lost – not a penny more, not a penny less.
