The thrilling novel that launched #1 New York Times bestseller Jeffrey Archer's career, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less.
THE SWINDLE IS INGENIOUS
The conned: an Oxford don, a revered society physician, a chic French art dealer, and a charming English lord. They have one thing in common. Overnight, each novice investor lost his life's fortune to one man. The con: Harvey Metcalfe. A brilliant, self-made guru of deceit. A very dangerous individual. And now, a hunted man.
SO IS THE REVENGE
With nothing left to lose, four strangers are about to come together—each expert in their own field. Their plan: find Harvey, shadow him, trap him, and penny-for-penny, destroy him. From the luxurious casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes windows at Ascot to the bustling streets of Wall Street to fashionable London galleries, their own ingenious game has begun.
It's called revenge—and they were taught by a master.

      With a voice of comedic cunning, narrator Martin Jarvis embraces this Machiavellian tale of sweet revenge. He brilliantly characterizes con-man Harvey Metcalf, sly financial investor. With inspired plot twists, Metcalf's creative swindle cons an Oxford don, a society physician, a French art dealer, and a charming English lord out of their savings--until they wise up to what has happened. In academic tones, with sporadic French accents, Jarvis captures the marks and focuses on how they use their employment specialties to exact pristine revenge on the unsuspecting Metcalf, to the very last penny. The amazing twist at the end leaves the listener truly satisfied with the ingenious plot and counterplots in this story of psychological warfare and avarice. G.D.W.

      A streetwise, cunning young man fights his way to the top, succeeds as a brilliant investor, and still finds it necessary to cheat four unsuspecting novice investors of their savings. Harvey Metcalf has crossed the wrong men by having them invest in his shady petroleum company. Revenge by these gents is a combination of brilliant planning, stellar acting, and comical psychological warfare. Alex Jennings's command of these characters results in diverse interpretations, ranging from that of an Oxford math professor, an English lord, a French entrepreneur, a Harley Street doctor, and Harvey Metcalf's clever daughter. Jennings's aloof yet driven performance allows the listener space to imagine the vivid English countryside, the posh casinos of Monte Carlo, and the bustling streets of early New York during the Depression.
