As a private investigator, Kathleen Stone relies on her ability to blend into the background. Aided by her street-smart drag queen friend and the best wigmaker in New York City, she feels confident that her camouflage is up to snuff. But when a cheating spouse she s been trailing ends up dead under suspicious circumstances, she fears that someone she angered in her past job busting gangs and drug dealers as an undercover cop has seen through her disguises. Now she must work with her former colleagues in the NYPD to solve the case before she s the next victim.
