ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less by Jeffrey Archer tells the story of four strangers, each successful in their own right, who are brought together by a common misfortune. They are all swindled out of their money by the unscrupulous businessman Harvey Metcalfe in a meticulously planned scheme involving a seemingly promising oil venture. Furious at their losses and feeling foolish, this unlikely group of individuals from different walks of life decides to band together. They embark on a daring and intricate plan to reclaim every penny they have lost from Metcalfe, vowing to take not a penny more, not a penny less. The narrative unfolds as they utilize their diverse skills and knowledge to execute their audacious acts of revenge, exploring themes of justice, social disparity, and the complexities of retribution.
