Pillow Stalk by Diane Vallere
A Mad for Mod Mystery
Coming October 9, 2012 

Interior Decorator Madison Night has modeled her life after Doris Day's character in Pillow Talk, but when a killer targets women dressed like the  bubbly actress, Madison's signature sixties style places her in the middle of a homicide investigation. The local detective connects the new crimes to a twenty-year old cold case, and Madison's long-trusted contractor emerges as the leading suspect. As the body count piles up like a stack of plush pillows, Madison uncovers an international spy, a campaign to destroy all Doris Day movies, and six minutes of film that will change her life forever.
