About the Author
There have been many imitators, but only Jackie Collins can tell you what really goes on in the fastest lane of all. From Beverly Hills bedrooms to a raunchy prowl along the streets of Hollywood; from glittering rock parties and concerts to stretch limos and the mansions of the power brokers -- Jackie Collins chronicles the real truth from the inside looking out.
Jackie Collins has been called a "raunchy moralist" by the late director Louis Malle and "Hollywood's own Marcel Proust" by Vanity Fair magazine. With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than 40 countries, and with some twenty-nine New York Times bestsellers to her credit, Jackie Collins is one of the world's top-selling novelists. She is known for giving her readers an unrivaled insiders knowledge of Hollywood and the glamorous lives and loves of the rich, famous, and infamous! "I write about real people in disguise," she says. "If anything, my characters are toned down -- the truth is much more bizarre."
From the Back Cover
A private jet begins its descent towards JFK, bringing home Gino Santangelo, self-made millionaire and self-exiled mob boss.
A green Cadillac heads into Harlem, driven by Carrie Berkeley, a society wife with a hidden past which needs to stay hidden.
In an office building, a young prosecuting attorney, Steven Berkeley, is putting the finishing touches to an intricate, career-defining case. Tired and exhilarated, he rides the elevator down.
Also in the elevator is Lucky Santangelo, firebrand daughter of Gino and substitute head of the crime family.
And then the power cuts out, plunging New York City into darkness.
And so begins CHANCES, the steamy epic which introduces us to one of Jackie Collins' greatest heroines, Lucky Santangelo.
