Tracking Shadows
Synopsis
Harry Webb’s father committed suicide in Harry’s 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.
It is Harry’s sister, Denise, who gives him a clue to the
real Ray. Then he figures out that it is the motorcycle
event where he first met Ray that offers the possibility of
finding her. It works and Harry is able to finally confront
her, only to discover that he has all along been tracking
the shadow of himself.
