Publisher's Synopsis

THE INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY OF THE MAN WHO BROKE THE BANK AT MONTE CARLO.

'Brilliant - a terrific read' - Michael Aspel OBE

'The best book I've read all year' - Nigel Jones, editor, Devonshire Magazine

Charles Deville Wells broke the bank at Monte Carlo - not once but ten times - winning the equivalent of millions in today's money. He followed up with a colossal bank fraud in Paris, and became Europe's most wanted criminal, hunted by British and French police and known in the press as 'Monte Carlo Wells - the man with 36 aliases'.

Is he phenomenally lucky? Has he really invented an 'infallible' gambling system, as he claims? Or is he just an exceptionally clever fraudster?
