[Royce Thorne 01] • Disguise for Death

Royce Thorne always dreamed of having children in a marriage unmarred by infidelity like her parents'. When she learns that her husband, Eddy, fathered their neighbor’s now grown son, she is devastated but vows to keep the secret.

After Eddy is killed in the line of duty, she learns he has left a large sum of money to his son, Palmer, as an apology for failing to acknowledge paternity.

Someone knows Royce’s secret and uses the knowledge to frame Palm for murder. Royce is determined to find the real killer, no matter what the cost. Her search is hindered by a fake FBI agent, an ambitious investigative reporter, and a hostile tv show host—who all have secrets.
