Title: Seven moves
First published: 1996
Description: Christine Snow, a Chicago therapist, has at last returned from the margins of her past - a cardsharp father, too many wrong lovers - into comfortable urban domesticity with Taylor Hayes, a travel photographer. The two women share a house, a dog, a life. And then one morning after a minor argument, Taylor disappears.

At first angry, Chris becomes alarmed. Has Taylor abandoned her, or has she met with some terrible fate? Chris's best friend, Daniel, forever on his own hapless search for love, consoles her but can't comfort her. Her patients continue to demand her attention while Chris becomes too distraught even to take care of herself. Then, coming through Taylor's darkroom, Chris discovers a clue to Taylor's whereabouts that is as unsettling as her lover's disappearance.

Following a trail that leads to Morocco and back home again, Seven Moves tracks Christine's gradual recognition that no one can ever really know another's soul.
