One of Wallace's best-loved novels, The Prize takes us behind the scenes of Swededn's Nobel Prize gala and glamour, into a world of shocking revelations.
We follow each prize winner from the moment he or she learns of receiving this great, honour, through their first days of elation and shock as their privacy is invaded, to be used for international new fodder.
Each man or woman has a secret, and behind these secrets lie the explosive scandals that could rock the world's belief in the integrity of the Nobel Prize. The struggles for power, lust and control show Wallace at the height of his storytelling powers, in a book that readers cannot put down, and that rocketed Wallace to the tops of bestseller lists world wide.
The Prize is as relevant today as when it was written, both for pure entertaintment and thrilling intellectual challenge. It is a prize to be read again and again - a panorama of international intrigue, the interlocking fates of geniuses from the honorable to the corrupt, and the machinations of the political machine behind the most prestigious of all the world's prizes.
