One Tricked Phoney is a light hearted caper, the first in the series written by James Byron Books.

Rose needed a +1, but not for the usual wedding/party. She was going to a funeral and needed a quiet, unassuming type, but when Nic Thorn arrived he was anything but a wallflower. Rose and her BFF Sandy had time on their hands, and soon found Nic would fill the void. He coerces them into his madcap investigations of scams, frauds and misunderstandings.

This modern day adventure leads them from one lively caper to another, involving portrait provenance, invoice inaccuracy, and a recycler’s relapse, on their travels from Brisbane, Adelaide and across to the South Australian border.
