Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.
I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.
In the world’s most dangerous working environments it can seem like everything is out to kill you. The equipment you use. The materials you work with. The very air you breathe. Stored energy is a coiled viper waiting for the right moment to lash out. Owners, manufacturers, contractors, and beyond have developed safety protocols to combat STCKY, that is, Stuff That Can Kill You. Gravity, Motion, Mechanical, Electrical, Pressure, Sound, Radiation, Biological, Chemical, Temperature. This season is all about the means of murder as authors put our STCKY detective skills to the test. This is Season 9, Stuff That Can Kill You.
This is Episode 5, where gravity is our STCKY means of death. This is Flat by Robert J. Binney
Henri has real motivation to put his state certificate to use. He’s accused of helping developer Austin Coleman go splat. He needs our help if he’s going to avoid being sentenced to life in prison orange. Here are his suspects in the order we met them:
- Carl, construction site foreman
- Desiree Normandy, ex-wife #1
- Crystal Watters, almost ex-wife #2
- Quentin Lockwood, Commissioner and candidate for governor
- Wesley Brownstein, one-man protester
ABOUT Robert J. Binney
Seattle screenwriter Robert J. Binney has chronicled Henri’s adventures previously on Mysteries to Die For. His essays on being the butt of Jimmy Carter’s jokes, joyriding with the Salt Lake City police, find-ing career advice in the Himalayas, and hanging with Peter Frampton have appeared in The Los Angeles Times, the Kelp Journal, and more. “Restoration Software” was recently featured in Level Best Books’ The Best Private Eye Stories of 2025. He is a regular contributor to Thrill Ride magazine and the Starlite Pulp Review. A former titan of industry with movie-star good looks, he holds an MBA from Emory University and an MFA from UC Riverside.
