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?

Read Oct 4/12 to Oct 13/12. (Trip to Ottawa, family reunion, so very busy the first week!) This is my first fiction by Jeffrey Archer and although it took me a little while to get into it, (1/3 of book) I really enjoyed the rest. I had just finished reading his Prison Diaries, (non-fiction) which I had found totally captivating and eye-opening. They made me want to know a little more about this man, so I thought I would read his other books. I will be moving on to his next title "Shall We Tell The President?" which I think is the first in his "Kane and Abel" series.
