Can Samantha unzip the facts or will the truth stay buttoned up forever? Find out in this denim-styled humorous and not-quite-cozy amateur sleuth mystery by national bestselling author Diane Vallere! Fahrenheit 501 is the twelfth humorous installment in the Samantha Kidd mystery series set in a fictional eastern Pennsylvania town and appeals to fans of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. If you like fashion history, fun puzzles, and unusual crimes, you'll love this funny mystery. Burn out...or fade away? When Samantha Kidd is invited to fill an about-to-be-vacated spot in a secret society, she jumps at the chance. The group’s mission is to preserve famous fashion patterns through memorization and pass them down to future generations, and Samantha’s dreams of Chanel jackets and Halston dresses are dashed when she’s assigned the Levi’s 501 jean. But when the retiring denim expert turns up dead, she fears there’s more than fashion history at stake. Garments from the deceased member’s estate are linked to a series of local cold cases, and Samantha questions everything. Was the member’s death an admission of guilt of past crimes or vigilante justice? As she pulls at the threads of the investigation, she finds the fabric of her secret society fraying at the seams.
