The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo

De: Robin Quinn

Narrado por: Jonathan Keeble

Charles Deville Wells has two loves in life: Jeannette, his beautiful French mistress, and his sumptuous yacht, the Palais Royal. At the risk of losing both, Wells stakes everything he owns at the roulette tables in Monte Carlo's world-famous casino - and in the space of a few days he breaks the bank, not once but 10 times, winning the equivalent of millions in today's money.

Is he phenomenally lucky? Has he really invented an 'infallible' gambling system, as he claims? Or is he just an exceptionally clever fraudster?

Based on painstaking research on both sides of the Channel, this biography reveals the incredible true story of the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo and went on to become Europe's most wanted criminal.

Well worth the read!

This story of Charles D Wells is performed so well that the characters come to life. Jonathan Keeble seamlessly transitions from one person to another in a way that allows you to feel the personality of each person. His reading and the story itself felt like a novel instead of a biography. Well worth the read!

Superbly entertaining

Wonderful well researched narrative that almost reads like a thriller and transports one back to a golden era.
