Chances Are...

Three old friends meet again on Martha’s Vineyard—over forty years after they parted ways. All three are now sixty-six. Back when they were much younger, they studied together at a small humanities college in Connecticut. Even then they were very different, and even more so now: Lincoln is a commercial real estate agent, Teddy is a small independent Christian publisher, and Mickey is a rock musician and sound engineer. But each of them has their own secrets—never mind the one enormous secret that binds them all. Many years ago, together they came to this island, and those weekends set their lives forever. That time, Jacy disappeared—a girl each of them loved in their own way. No one has seen her since. Nobody knows what exactly happened. But the friends are coming together again, and the web of lies and secrets begins to unravel, revealing the fateful decisions they made in the past… A Pulitzer Prize winner, the author of the novels “Empire Falls” and “That’s a Man,” Richard Russo knows not only how finely to connect tragedy and irony—never losing his instinct for what is truly human in people—but also how to spin a detective intrigue.
