It was supposed to put Welvin on the map.
The world's biggest ball of yarn.
Red. Round. Ready for roadside selfies.
And now? Gone.
Stolen under cover of darkness and radical fiber art.
Enter Frank Peniston - neon-vested vigilante, infinite-ammo enthusiast, and chronically kidney-stoned detective - who must untangle the threads of a community art heist that quickly escalates into a soft revolution. Alongside Ronald (his snack-fueled sidekick) and an ex-flame turned anarchist knitter, Frank infiltrates radical craft collectives, combats mind-controlling sculptures, and 69s his way through macramé and metaphors.
But beneath the fringe and felt lies something deeper - a plot to psychically manipulate mall-goers using a kinetic yarn cat powered by applause.
Yes. You read that right.
From the threadbare mind of Frankfort Petersén comes another unhinged installment of the Frank Peniston Mystery series - where art is a weapon, yarn is a lie, and justice is always riding shotgun in a 2005 Chevy Malibu named Madge.
Thread lightly.
