Notable Lists
Jeffrey Archer is at his captivating best in this, his first novel, an intricate tale of deceit, dishonor, and sweet revenge. What can an Oxford don, a respected society physician, a chic French art dealer, and a charming English lord have in common? Very little, except they've all been swindled out of every cent they had by Harvey Metcalfe, the man who wrote the book on international stock fraud. They haven't a prayer of ever seeing their money again. Or have they? No library descriptions found. |

Very much dated now (it was written in the 1970s), with things like: 98p train fare between Ascot and Oxford, managing to get a seat on the commuter trains between Oxford and London where there's only a £2 price difference between first and second class tickets...HA! This story details, in great detail of how the 4 men get their money back after being swindled by Harvey Metcalfe.
Sometimes I like Archer's detail, but this book just felt remarkably smug and so I felt a little dirty at the end
