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. 'Marvellously plotted, with just the right amounts of romance, wit and savoir-faire'. Publishers Weekly. 'There isn't a better storyteller alive'. Larry King. 'Archer is terrific and meets the reader's ultimate tests — to want to turn the page, to want to know what happens next'. Sunday Times.
