Flight into Death is a crime thriller about Nina, a children’s author who escapes a violent marriage to the vile, philandering drug dealer Roberto after he kills her family in a plane crash.

She relocates and buys a house at the Central Coast area to what she hopes is going to be a safe place. She finds love in Matthew, but also finds evil forces at work. Paul, the plumber who wanted to buy the house before Nina beat him to it, believes there is a hidden treasure in the house and tries to scare her into abandoning the property by leaving decaying animals at the foot of the stairs and a threatening note. Lucas, the schizophrenic child next door who killed a cat by strangulation, sees a devil in the house and puts dead rats in front of Nina’s bedroom to protect her. Tormented by the voices in his head, he contemplates killing his sister and committing suicide so he can fly away to heaven.

After the unhappy marriage to Roberto, it takes Nina time to trust Matthew, and at one point suspects him of being the one trying to get her out of the house. Matthew enlists Ryan the detective to investigate the insidious goings-on and is himself drawn into the dangerous situation.
