Description
Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less by Jeffrey Archer is the captivating debut novel that launched Archer’s career as one of Britain’s most popular storytellers. This sharp, witty crime caper follows four very different men — an Oxford academic, a respected physician, a chic French art dealer, and a charming English lord — all of whom have been ruthlessly swindled out of their life savings by a cunning American conman, Harvey Metcalfe.
Unwilling to leave justice to the courts, these unlikely allies devise an ingenious plan to reclaim their fortunes, down to the very last penny. What follows is a whirlwind of clever schemes and high-stakes escapades as they trail their mark from London’s art galleries to the casinos of Monte Carlo, the racetracks of Ascot, and the boardrooms of Wall Street. Revenge is sweet — especially when served with Archer’s trademark wit and unexpected twists.
Ideal for readers who enjoy clever heist plots, character-driven crime fiction, and fast-paced storytelling, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less is a brilliant introduction to Jeffrey Archer’s storytelling brilliance.
