From London to China, and New York to Nigeria, Jeffrey Archer takes the reader on a tour of ancient heirlooms and modern romance, of cutthroat business and kindly strangers, of lives lived in the realms of power and lives freed from the gloom of oppression. Fortunes are made and squandered, honor betrayed and redeemed, and love lost and rediscovered.

Publisher's Summary
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.

A thoroughly good read.
What did you like most about Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less?
A really good gripping story. I enjoyed as much as I did the first time I read it in the mid 70s. It's one of those"old-fashioned" stories with a really bad baddie. I loved the twist in the tale at the end, too.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less?
The last bit! But I won't spoil it!

Downloaded for the long journey from Calais to the Alps to keep twin 12-year-old boys amused & off iphone games. Worked a treat - they loved it. We hadn't finished it when we arrived so had to listen to the rest in the evenings after supper - strange but welcome change to the usual screen time!
