Chip Crandle, nobody's idea of a hero, is considering creeping into John and Scarlet Bradley's terrifying house and executing them. Chip has irrefutable proof his neighbors in the North Idaho woods have beaten the system and gotten away with something for which they deserve to die. He wasn't looking for this, but he's sure it's his last chance to erase a lifetime of cowardice and regret. Could killing someone really be the right thing to do? Yes, or no? Damnation, or redemption? And which course leads where? Chip's life-or-death decision throws him into uncharted territory, where the right thing isn't what he expected it should be. On Death and Flying presents a seemingly average man's emotional exploration into his own worth, culminating in a mind-expanding, justice-dealing road trip from the Idaho Panhandle to Oklahoma's Tornado Alley. It's an unforseen adventure, down an unmapped road, to a destination you could never expect.

Chip Crandle has been given something special for his 60th birthday. A final chance to make a difference. It's a gift he didn't ask for, in a form he never expected; neighbors who richly deserve to die but have evaded justice. Now that the gift has been unwrapped, all he has to do is decide; what's the right thing to do? And no matter the decision, how would it all end? Chip knows what he'd like to believe, but is it really faith, or just a wish? Walking in the pristine forest of North Idaho, lurking in the gloom-stink of an unthinkable crime scene, keeping up appearances as an average white-haired guy, driving across the enormity of the Great Plains in a 1984 El Camino, while wearing an ancient buckskin shirt... Chip Crandle finds the magic it takes to be sure.
