From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls comes a new revelation: a riveting story about the abiding yet complex power of friendship. One beautiful September day, three men convene on Marthas Vineyard, friends since meeting in college circa the sixties. They couldnt have been more different then, or even today--Lincolns a commercial real estate broker, Teddy a tiny-press publisher, and Mickey a musician beyond his rockin age. But each man holds his own secrets, in addition to the monumental mystery that none of them has ever stopped puzzling over since a Memorial Day weekend on the Vineyard in 1971: the disappearance of the woman each of them loved--Jacy Rockafellow. Now, more than forty years later, as this new weekend unfolds, three lives are displayed in their entirety while the distant past confounds the present like a relentless squall of surprise and discovery. Shot through with Russos trademark comedy and humanity, Chances Are . . . also introduces a new level of suspense and menace that will quicken the readers heartbeat. For both longtime fans and lucky newcomers, Russos latest is a stunning demonstration of a highly acclaimed author deepening and expanding his remarkable achievement.About the AuthorRICHARD RUSSO is the author of eight previous novels, two collections of stories, a collection of essays, and the memoir Elsewhere.
