Flute enters the Grimsburg Miniature Competition and is accused of cuddleing the judge, Jebediah Cupps, after he disqualifies him. Flute tries to clear his name at the local middle school by recreating a miniature model of the crime scene. Then Stan joins his school's Trauma Club.
Marvin Flute may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown or correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there's one mystery he still can't crack - his family. Now that he's back in Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, Flute will follow every lead he's got to redeem himself with the ex-wife he never stopped loving, even if it means hanging out with the son he never bothered to get to know.
