Inver Brass: a group of high-minded and high-placed intellectuals. They see a monstrous threat to the country in Hoover`s unethical use of his scandal-ridden private files. And so they decide to do away with him - quietly, efficiently, with no hint of impropriety. Until bestselling thriller writer Peter Chancellor stumbles onto information that makes his previous books look like harmless fairy tales. Now Chancellor and Inver Brass are on a deadly collision course, spiralling across the globe in an ever-widening arc of violence and terror. They are hurtling towards a showdown that will rip Washington`s intelligence community apart, leaving only one damning document to survive: The Chancellor
Chance is narrated by Conrad`s regular narrator, Charles Marlow, but is characterized by a complex, nested narrative in which different narrators take up the story at different points. The novel is also unusual among its author`s works for its focus on a female character: the heroine, Flora de Barral. The narrators describe and attempt to interpret various episodes in the life of the Miss de Barral, the daughter of a convicted swindler, named Smith de Barral.
