Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less was Jeffrey Archer‘s first novel, first published in 1976. It was said to have been inspired by Archer’s real-life experience of near-bankruptcy.

He was already a great story teller — even at the start of his career as an author.

Archer was Member of Parliament until 1974.

In this one a conman dupes investors in a North Sea oil drilling rights scam.

Four of those investors decide to get their money back, by conning the con.

Not realistic. But entertaining, for sure.
