Armed with supreme confidence, zero detective skills, and a firm belief that every case should end with a Perry Mason-style courtroom monologue, Biff is determined to solve what he calls a "multi-layered assassination." Accompanied by his long-suffering deputy, Toby Ferris, Biff takes on a rogue's gallery of suspects.As Sheriff Biff spins wild theories involving Soviet satellites, car horn distractions, and historical numerology, Toby must navigate his boss's dramatic accusations before Biff manages to arrest the entire town.Packed with sharp Southern humor, quirky characters, and 1950s nostalgia, Static Cling is a cozy, laugh-out-loud mystery for readers who love bumbling sleuths, small-town shenanigans, and stories where the truth is stranger than fiction.
