"Avishay is up for the Nobel Prize in Economics. There's just one problem -he's dead. His four closest friends agree that the well-earned prize must stay within his grasp, and so they conspire to conceal Avishay's corpse until the committee's announcement. The potential of a glorious legacy for their late friend - and by extension, for them all - is a mere eight days away. What could go wrong? Their plan starts out simple: crank up the AC, take shifts watching the apartment, forge texts and emails. But as the days pass, things start to unravel and hidden motives emerge. How far will this foursome go to thelp their friend die a winner? And is it all in the name of friendship? Bristling with insight and dark humor, Stockholm offers a refreshingly honest consideration of the age when we begin to measure the sum of our lives." -- Jacket flap
