July 22, 1975: a group of thirty high school students celebrates their graduation by making a macabre pact—an agreement that will bind each of them until their last breath. The final three survivors will share a prize: a sum of money that, through each student's annual contribution, will turn into a remarkable fortune decades later. Who among them will remain alive? Secret bets, jealousies, hatreds, romantic entanglements, suspicions, assassination attempts, voodoo, and above all, luck come to upend even the most well-founded predictions.
A delightfully phlegmatic and playful novel by a major author about the dark sides of friendship and the anxieties of old age that captivates the reader with its originality and twists.
