A Lady in Disguise: A Novel of Victorian Romantic Suspense

By Sandra Byrd

Book Overview

"For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known." Luke 12:2 After her father's mysterious death, Miss Gillian Young takes a new job as the principal costume designer at the renowned Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. But while she remembers her father as a kind, well-respected man of the Police Force, clues she uncovers indicate he'd been living a double life: a haunting photograph of a young woman; train stubs for secret trips just before his death; and a receipt for a large sum of money. Are these items evidence of her father's guilty secrets? His longtime police partner thinks so. Then Gillian meets the dashing Viscount Thomas Lockwood. Their attraction is instant and inescapable. As their romantic involvement grows, Gillian begins to suspect even Lockwood's motives. What should she make of her friend's suggestion that Lockwood or men like him were involved in the murder of her father? Soon, Gillian is convinced that her father has left evidence somewhere proving his innocence and revealing the guilty party. The closer she comes to uncovering it, the more menacing her opposition grows. Gillian takes on an ingenious disguise and takes on the role of a lifetime to reveal the true killer--before it's too late for both her and those she loves.
