A mystery lands - literally - at Tom Winscombe's feet, and another
riotous mathematical adventure begins... Tom Winscombe and Dorothy
Chan haven't managed to go on a date for some time, so it's a shame
that their outing to a Promenade Concert is cut short when a
mysterious cowled figure plummets from the gallery to the floor of
the arena close to where they are standing. But when they find out
who he was, all thoughts of romance fly out of the window. Just who
are the Fractal Monks, and what does Isaac, last of the Vavasors
and custodian of the papers of famed dead mathematical geniuses
Archie and Pye, want with them? How will other figures from the
past also demand a slice of the action? And what other mysteries
are there lurking at the bottom of the sea and at the top of
mountains? The answers lie in The Riddle of Fractal Monks. Praise
for Jonathan Pinnock: 'Lovely stuff.' Ian Rankin 'A series of
humorous, riotous mathematical mysteries.' David Nicholls 'He makes
funny and self-deprecating company.' The Herald 'Jonathan Pinnock
writes compelling tales with a deliciously wicked glint in his
eye.' Ian Skillicorn, National Short Story Week 'Jonathan Pinnock
is Roald Dahl's natural successor.' Vanessa Gebbie 'Funny, clever,
and sometimes brilliantly daft. A comedy that I am sure would have
made Pythagoras, Archimedes and Douglas Adams all laugh out loud.'
