The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Robin Quinn

The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Robin Quinn

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?
