"Jeffrey Robinson is a witty and cynical writer." -- Sydney Sun Herald "A warmly funny, richly human novel crammed with great characters and wonderful digressions. It's like going out to dinner with your most entertaining friend and ending up talking till dawn because the company's so good." -- Val McDermid
Vicent Barolo is a 50-something lawyer practising on a shoestring from an office in Soho. While on a plane journey, he gives his card to a research scientist called Bickerton. When Bickerton commits suicide, Vincent discovers he may have discovered the elusive gene responsible for obesity. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Then, someone he doesn't know sends him £1000 retainer. The next day, the newspapers report that person dead. And little by little, Vincent Barolo's world starts coming unglued. To put it back together again, he finds himself forced to take on the shadowy, big-money game of international patents.
Exposing the high-stakes, cut-throat race for the elusive FAT-gene, The Monk's Disciples lays bare the extent that men of science will go - in the name of science - to further their own naked ambition. ( )
