Chances Are

Chances Are by Russo, Richard. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781911630364.

One beautiful September day, three sixty-six-year-old men convene on Marthas Vineyard, friends ever since meeting in college in the 1960s. They couldnt have been more different then, or even today - Lincolns a commercial real estate broker, Teddy a tiny-press publisher and Mickey an ageing rocker. But each man holds his own secrets, in addition to the monumental mystery that none of them has ever stopped puzzling over since 1971: the disappearance of their friend Jacy. Now, decades later, the distant past interrupts the present as the truth about what happened to Jacy finally emerges, forcing the men to reconsider everything they thought they knew about each other. 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 throughout this absorbing saga of how friendships bonds are every bit as constricting and rewarding as those of family. For both longtime fans and lucky newcomers, Chances Are is a stunning demonstration of a highly-acclaimed author deepening and expanding his remarkable body of work.
