Description

Second book in the Mad for Mod Mystery Series featuring amateur sleuth Madison Night and her interest in all things Doris Day.

When interior decorator Madison Night receives a five thousand dollar bill in the mail, she knows it’s a message from her past. But when she discovers a corpse while trying to learn of the bill’s value, Madison suspects her former lover wants more than a reconciliation. His actions belie his intentions, and even a gallon of daisy yellow paint can’t hide the writing on the wall. Madison follows a circuit of rare dollars and common sense and discovers a counterfeit operation, a jealous lover, and the true value of her independence.

Advance Praise

"All of us who fell in love with Madison Night in PILLOW STALK will be rooting for her when the past comes back to haunt her in THAT TOUCH OF INK. The suspense is intense, the plot is hot and the style is to die for. A thoroughly entertaining entry in this enjoyable series."
-Catriona McPherson, Agatha Award-winning author of the Dandy Gilver Mystery Series

Praise for the series:
"Make room for Vallere’s tremendously fun homage. Imbuing her story with plenty of midcentury-modern decorating and fashion tips, not to mention a steady patter of Doris Day trivia, Vallere debuts a well-paced cozy series. Her disarmingly honest lead and two hunky sidekicks will appeal to all fashionistas and antiques types and have romance crossover appeal."
-Library Journal

"Madison is a strong leading lady who lands in lots of quirky situations. Instead of clashing, humor and danger meld perfectly, and there’s a cliffhanger that will make your jaw drop. You’ll look forward to the second Mad for Mod mystery."
