Tracking Shadows

Harry Webb has been single for thirty-seven-years and holds an upper management position in a major insurance company. His father committed

suicide in his first year in college. No note, nothing from his mother as to why, and a sudden estrangement from his younger sister, Denise. Harry meets Roberta Andrea Yancy, or Ray, as she tells him, at a motorcycle hill climb in western Massachusetts. Harry is smitten but it looks to him that she is not available. Then, out of the blue, Ray turns up in his life in the most unexpected way and just as unexpectedly, disappears. Harry has only thin information about Ray; where she lives, where she works, and little more about her parents. He is determined to track her down, but step by step he discovers that everything she has told him is a lie and a dead end.

Then he figures out that it is the motorcycle event where he first met Ray that offers the possibility of tracking her down. It works and Harry is able to

finally confront her, only to discover that he has all along been tracking the shadow of himself.
