And this confused little me was now at the mercy of relentlessly whirling data tapes at our workplace computer centre. This is the first full-length novel I read of Archer, and I remember the story, the characters even after 15 years. And that speaks a lot about this book. Doesn't it?

I come by my love of mysteries and thrillers naturally, as both my mother and grandmother are addicts of such books. This book was among their highly recommended reads. I thoroughly enjoyed it the first time around a few years ago, and it was just as much fun this time.

When Henryk was a pimply and flourishing fourteen-year-old, his father died of what we now know to be cancer. His mother outlived her husband by no more than a few months, leaving the five children to fend for themselves. Henryk, like the other four, should have gone into the district orphanage for destitute children, but in the mid-1920s it was not hard for a boy to disappear in New York – though it was harder to survive. Henryk became a master of survival, a schooling which was to prove very useful to him in later life.

Their plan is simple: sting the crook exactly for what they lost – not a penny more and not a penny less. This is way better than his recent novels. It does not try too hard to sound very clever. There are no punchlines in every line, but humor sprinkled throughout. Roger’s only ambition in life was to become an officer in the Navy, but after graduating from Dartmouth he had had to return to the family business because of his father’s ill-health. He had only been with the firm a few months when his father died. Roger would have liked to have sold Sharpley & Son to the first bidder, but his father had made a codicil to his will to the effect that if the firm were sold before Roger’s fortieth birthday (that being the last day one can enlist for the US Navy), the money gained from the sale would be divided equally among his other relatives.Persons who are citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies and are resident in the United Kingdom or who are bodies corporate incorporated in the United Kingdom may apply in accordance with these Regulations for: The conned: an Oxford don, a revered society physician, a chic French art dealer, and a charming English lord. They have one thing in common. Overnight, each novice investor lost his life's fortune to one man. The con: Harvey Metcalfe!! The debut novel has all the tropes that Jeffrey Archer repeats in every book. Love at first sight, sweet romance, a dramatic wedding, collection of rare paintings, lessons in English aristocracy, corporate politics...

Εμείς δε μπορούμε να εκδικηθούμε το φορολογικό σύστημα αλλά ουφ! κάποιοι τα κατάφεραν με τα δικά τους θέματα. Είναι παρήγορο. Look, I read it to the end so it couldn’t have been too bad but I’m really glad that Jeffery Archer has, with the passage of time, improved greatly as an author.
