Celebrate amateur sleuth Samantha Kidd's birthday (along with seventies style) in the fifth killer fashion mystery by national bestselling author Diane Vallere!

Nothing says "fresh start" like a birthday. But sometimes the past won't let you go...

With her thirty-mumble-birthday on the horizon, amateur sleuth and fashion expert Samantha Kidd is determined to get her life under control. Her steady job at Retrofit Magazine comes with a paycheck, medical benefits, a 401K, and an assignment to dive into seventies style. She's prepared to report on patchwork velvet and platform shoes, but she never expected to uncover the theft of a major collection of samples from the days before disco died.

When the guilty party threatens Samantha's family and friends, her priorities shift into protection mode. The investigation heats up faster than fondue over sterno, and all too soon Samantha learns that while the beat goes on, there's no guarantee she'll go on with it.

Can Samantha catch a criminal who's been living in plain sight, or will her fresh start turn into a dead end?
