This Jeffrey Archer novel is a masterpiece of brilliant deductions and hilarious surprises, all about a crook Harvey Metcalfe and how he meets his match in an English Oxford professor and his “gang”

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less (1976) is Jeffrey Archer's debut novel about four people who conspire to recover their money from a con artist named Harvey Metcalfe, who scammed them in an oil investment scheme. The Oxford professor and his team's clever revenge plot matches the description exactly. First Among Equals is about politicians, Shall We Tell the President is a political thriller, and Whodunnit is not an Archer title.
