A burial flight leads to aviation, enterprise, and suspicion

Milton Muzny’s unexpected assignment—flying a stranger’s casket from California toward Texas in a Piper Cherokee 300—brings him back to people and a place he believed were part of his past. From that forced landing, the novel traces his rise as an entrepreneur whose ventures span small-town airport restaurants, golf-club manufacturing, and an experimental aircraft project. His expanding success is shadowed by a California Attorney General’s effort to link the source of his fortune to murder. Aviation supplies both the opening crisis and a continuing framework for a story concerned with reinvention, ambition, and the consequences attached to a good deed.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in aviation-centered fiction
  • Fans of entrepreneurial rise narratives with criminal suspicion
  • Readers who enjoy small-town airport settings

Book overview

Swayed by the tears of a pleading friend, Milton Muzny jammed the casket of a Californian he had never met into the belly of his Piper Cherokee 300 for a burial flight to Texas. A storm forces an early landing to the safety of a place and the company of people he once loved and thought were left behind forever. People root where fate takes them. So it is for Milton, who grows to become a highly successful entrepreneur heading a business empire that includes a chain of small-town airport restaurants, a golf club manufacturing company with a break-through product and an experimental aircraft that is certain to set aviation on its heels. The Attorney General of the State of California is out to prove that the fertilizer of his fortune is murder. No good deed goes unpunished
