- A novel

Bag om Chances Are . . .

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 Martha''s Vineyard, friends since meeting in college circa the sixties. They couldn''t have been more different then, or even today--Lincoln''s 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 Russo''s trademark comedy and humanity, Chances Are . . . also introduces a new level of suspense and menace that will quicken the reader''s heartbeat. For both longtime fans and lucky newcomers, Russo''s latest is a stunning demonstration of a highly acclaimed author deepening and expanding his remarkable achievement.
