Not A Penny More,
Not A Penny Less
First published in hardback in 1976
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.
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.
Marvellously plotted, with just the right amounts of romance, wit and savoir-faire... PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Interesting fact:
It took Jeffrey some time to find a publisher for this first novel. When it was published, it only sold 3,000 copies in hardback. The paperback did a bit better, selling about 20,000 in the first year. However, as word-of-mouth took over, demand increased. Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less has now been reprinted 57 times.
