Jeffrey Archer is one of the most controversial authors of all-time. His stint as Member of Parliament from Louth, Lincolnshire, lasted from 1969 to 1974�but ended when a financial scandal led him to bankruptcy. In 2001, he was imprisoned on counts of perjury and obstructing justice. His imprisonment came as a shocker in those times. But his books tell a different story altogether. Quite literally. He started writing while he was still Member of Parliament and has risen up and above all things politics-related and emerged as one of the finest authors ever.

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less was first published in the U.S. in 1974. It later came to Britain in autumn of 1976.
