Look who's coming to dinner...

Experience the terror of nature unleashed in Richard DeGrandpre's new police procedural,
The Flying Dead.

Detective Pip Sykes, on her last day with the Crime Squad, is called to investigate an apparent accidental death: a corpse ravaged by seabirds. As her investigation unfolds, another scavenged body is discovered, this time on the South Island.

Trying to make sense of the circumstantial evidence, Sykes has to confront a disturbing national pastime: the mass killing of non-native predators. Her evidence appears connected, yet it suggests something chillingly different—that humans have somehow become the prey.

As she plunges into the darkest case of her career, Sykes learns of a reclusive institute in the scenic area of Arthur’s Pass. Their stated mission: to engineer an endemic hunter to eradicate non-native predators. But as Sykes soon discovers, this is not the only antagonist they seek to eradicate...

Part police procedural, part techno-thriller, The Flying Dead is “Michael Crichton meets Alfred Hitchcock.” Once again, it’s time to question the skies above.
