PLEASE NOTE: Although this book is part of the IRISH LOTTERY SERIES, there is no cliffhanger. Though it is true that the characters get older as the series progresses, each book is a complete story, and can be enjoyed without having read the previous book.When an armed robbery at Final Spinz, the dry cleaners where hardened matriarch Fionnuala Flood works, leads to the death of beloved pensioner Mrs. Ming, the ensuing investigation unleashes dark secrets that promise to bring Fionnuala closer to her husband Paddy, her mother Maureen, and the four children of her brood still in town. Or tear them apart forever.The dysfunctional Floods are ripping apart at the seams. Fionnuala, banished from the family home for a heinous act that threatened the life of her most beloved son, must live, exile-like, in a dilapidated trailer on the outskirts of town, Derry, Northern Ireland. She's desperate to inveigle her way back into the family so she can rule over them once more with her iron rod and rapier tongue. Paddy and the family wanted rid of her, but if Fionnuala has her way, she's going nowhere. Like static cling.Bestselling author Gerald Hansen's fifth book about this remarkable family is like tossing your delicates, permanent press and some blood-stained old sneakers in together, pressing Hot, and watching it spin. Throw into the mix the return of a contestant from Safari Millionaire, some shocking DNA results, and Fionnuala's plan to save the world from evil, and Static Cling is another hilarious ride—part roller coaster, carousel and ghost train—that will leave you gasping, wincing and, most of all, laughing.Cover by Marco Maldera

Or so she thinks.The bells are ringing out in Derry, Northern Ireland, as the dirt-poor Floods and rich and entitled Riddells preprare for the pairing in matrimony of their families and a bridging of the gap between two sniping communities. But some are not best pleased, and it might be more a case of For Whom The Bell Tolls.What is the price to be paid for a mother's love? For daughter Dymphna and son Lorcan, the cost could be dangerously high. Fionnuala is already furious Dymphna has put her arch nemesis, Ursula Barnett, on the wedding list. Then beloved son Lorcan, fresh out of prison, announced he's emigrating to the USA. He'll get there. Unless Fionnuala gets her way.In Wisconsin, Ursula and husband Jed will find a trip to Derry difficult to fund, as Jed's gambling has them teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. The last chance to save their floundering beef jerky business will be to appear on Attack of the Killer Investors. But Fionnuala has ripped up their invitation, in any event. When they hear new of Dymphna's death, getting the investiment is imperative. Throw in a rabble of geriatric religious fanatics, poisonous ham hocks, an X-rated wedding cake, the gown from Hell, mix with rivers of drink, intolerance, jealousy and shame, and you have Best Served Frozen, a rip-roaring tale jam-packed with dark humor.       Cover by Marco Maldera
