The Prize
“He ordered a martini... kissed a girl... and was plunged into a nightmare of danger!”
MysteryThriller
A group of Nobel laureates descends on Stockholm to accept their awards. Among them is American novelist Andrew Craig, a former literary luminary now writing pulp detective stories to earn a living. Craig, who is infamous for his drinking and womanizing, formulates a wild theory that physics prize winner Dr. Max Stratman has been replaced by an impostor, embroiling Craig and his chaperone in a Cold War kidnapping plot.
VIBE
A cerebral thriller steeped in Cold War paranoia. It feels like a sophisticated puzzle box, unfolding with a cool, detached intensity. Expect sharp dialogue and a mounting sense of unease as secrets unravel in the frosty air of Stockholm.
