Shadow Dancing is an International Art Theft Thriller by John Walker, (a British engineer, inventor and aerodynamicist), spanning England, Italy, Greece and Egypt. It is also the story of two people, both of whom are in challenging situations, gradually coming together in love. Charles, a brilliant engineer and inventor, has designed the Shadow, a revolutionary (and on a dark night completely undetectable) new type of sailing boat. He has been struggling with an ill-starred marriage, his mother having tersely commented, "Marry in haste, repent at leisure". Amanda has been married for eighteen years, but still bears the scars of abuse by her father when she was only a little girl.
On the plus side, she has two beautiful children, Scarlett and Thomas, but her marriage explodes when she discovers her husband in their marital bed with the wife of the garage owner he works for. She leaves the Police, where she has specialised in Criminal Psychology, and joins Interpol and the British SIS.
Charles and Amanda, thrown together by circumstances and now both based in Greece, start by being Just Good Friends, and they become an effective team in the search for a priceless artefact stolen by some Italians. In due course, against all the odds, since the path of true love is never smooth, true love prevails.

John Walker began by designing cars, but soon became fascinated by wingsails. One of the wingsail boats he has designed has circumnavigated the Globe, he has sailed another safely through 'Claudette', a major Atlantic hurricane off Bermuda, and one wingsail (on a commercial ship) saved 20% of her fuel. He is very proud to have been described by the late Professor Austyn Mair, Head of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, as 'One of the foremost engineers of his generation'.

He has been awarded:-

. the Sir Frank Whittle Prize,

. the Sir Henry Royce Gold Medal,

. the Popular Mechanics Nautical Award,

. The Silk Cut Nautical Award,

. a Millennium Award for Technology.
