Disguises

As "Disguises" opens, Boone is staying at Deborah's home while recuperating from his recent shooting. Given the extent and severity of his injuries, recovery is a slow and frustrating process for him. Deborah, having grown accustomed to having him in her home, suggests they consider living together. Hesitant but game, he tries to come to grips in his mind with what would be a very different lifestyle and living arrangement than he is accustomed to. Marianne, his assistant and aspiring partner-to-be, receives a call from a widow in financially desperate straits, seeking information about her husband's death a year and a half earlier. From all indications, this will turn out to be a charity case with little to no chance of a good resolution. Boone finds it impossible to say no. Attorney Clive Townsend, a source of referrals for Boone's office and close personal friend, meanwhile asks Boone to locate evidence helpful to a female divorce client. This request involves conduct that borders on illegality. For help, Boone calls on Tom McAvoy, an old friend from their days together in the military, having no idea of what will ultimately develop. As if he doesn't have enough to demand his attention, a divorcée asks Boone to locate her adult daughter who left home several weeks earlier. The woman is concerned her daughter may about to 'do something bad.' Boone agrees to take the case with reservations. As these cases unfold, he is forced to recall a lesson he learned much earlier in life. Everyone is not who, or even what, they seem to be.
