THREE MEN, with totally different backgrounds and professional
skills have but one thing in common - all three, in one way or
another, have been shafted by the present-day political and
financial establishments. Rendered unemployed, close to bankruptcy
and extremely bitter, all three are prepared to do anything to Get
Even with The System. Legally or illegally. AT A PRESS CONFERENCE
in London, an equally bitter, mega-rich Greek shipping heiress
Athena Papadopulous castigates the British Government and the
British Museum for their refusal to return the legendary Elgin
Marbles to where she believes they rightfully belong - the
Parthenon Temple in Athens - despite her being willing to pay any
sum the Museum may demand. AN IDLE SPECULATION by one of the three
as to just how much she would be prepared to pay for the 'removal'
- albeit illicitly - of the marbles from the Museum's Duveen
Gallery for transportation back to Greece turns out to be just the
beginning of an attempt to carry out what would be the biggest,
most outrageous heist of the Century. 'A page turner that had me on
the edge of my seat.' Crime International Magazine. 'Getting Even
is surprisingly even-handed in setting out the moral case for and
against the return of the Elgin Marbles to Greece.' Journal of the
Anglo-Hellenic Institute. 'A totally convincing and unusually fast
moving comedy thriller.' Sunday Argus. THE AUTHOR: Dick Sharples is
a Manchester-born, award-winning novelist, dramatist and writer of
many comedy and drama series for films, television and radio.
