For the first time in Russian - the debut novel of the famous author of a modern thriller. A million dollars - this is the amount the powerful financial swindler Harvey Metcalf deceived four gullible investors who bought shares in a “promising” oil field in the North Sea. In the blink of an eye, the crown earl, a fashionable doctor, an art dealer and an Oxford professor find themselves penniless. But getting into a noose is not their method; They decide to take revenge on the offender with his own weapons and return their million. Not a penny more, not a penny less.
