This is the revealing story of a man who was an enigma: a cricketer, cricket commentator and philanthropist who had it all, then took his own life. Part biography, part personal reflection and part investigation, Chasing Shadows celebrates Roebuck?s immense achievements as a player, captain, writer, broadcaster and philanthropist, but doesn?t shy away from the controversies that plagued his life or the uncertainty surrounding his shocking death. Investigations by the authors have uncovered details previously unknown to the public, while some of the cricket world?s giants have volunteered due praise - and criticism - for this remarkable, tragic figure.
