"When everything fails, try this," a novel by John Vespasian.
When a Belgian industrialist is diagnosed with cancer and told that he doesn't have long to live, he decides to bet his complete fortune on Prof. Zirkovsky's research.
He convinces Zirkovsky to quit his teaching position in Brussels and set up a laboratory in Charlerois, a small town, in order to conduct experiments with monkeys.
As soon as Zirkovsky's research shows the first signs of success, dark forces begin to creep out of the underwood. Animal-rights activists demand Zirkovsky to abandon his experiments, while desperate cancer patients will stop at nothing to see them through.
A series of violent attacks against the lab lead the industrialist to call his insurer, Alfred Grail, a Vietnam veteran living in Switzerland, a man who has spent his whole life trying to forget nightmares of the past.
What Alfred Grail will find in Belgium will shake his beliefs and make him change his life....More >< Less
