One million dollars – that’s what Harvey Metcalf, king of shady deals, has pulled off with empty promises of an oil bonanza and instant riches. Overnight, four men – the heir to an earldom, a Harley Street doctor, a Bond Street art dealer and an Oxford don – find themselves penniless. But this time Harvey swindled the wrong men. They band together and shadow him from the casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes window at Ascot. 

          Their plan is simple: to sting the crook for exactly what they lost. Not a penny more, not a penny less.
