  The Flying Inn - A tale of...

  G K Chesterton

  Progressive Islam takes over England, and two men go on the run with a barrel of rum and a wheel of cheese, intent on keeping English pub life alive. Packed with songs, satire, and style as only Chesteron could write."Perhaps prophetical more so than prosaic (and not at all in the sense Chesterton intended it) The Flying Inn is one of those books which should rank among the classics" - The Distributist Review"Chesterton said that the book he most enjoyed writing was The Flying Inn. He enjoyed creating the comical scenes as much as the polemical ones, the drinking songs as much as the bitter satire and the hard-edged debate. As the hero of the novel says, “It’s as innocent as Heaven and as hot as hell.” The novel is a vehicle for Chesterton to tee off against corrupt and ineffectual politicians who had not merely lost touch with common citizens but were actively taking away their basic rights and freedoms. Besides politicians, he also makes room on his skewer for journalists, textual critics, health gurus, idiot socialists and capitalist toadies. [...] the drinking songs in The Flying Inn [are] "true Temperance songs: temperance is about moderation not abstinence. Self-restraint and self-control are acts of freedom. Prohibition is not. Though drinking may be a caprice [...] it is a caprice that cannot be forbidden to a citizen, but can be forbidden to a slave.”And what are these drinking songs that came under such fire? Simply some of the dearest and most delightful poems that Chesterton or anyone else has ever written: The Song of Right and Wrong, The Song of the Dog Quoodle, Wine and Water, The Logical Vegetarian, The Good Rich Man, The Saracen’s Head, and The Rolling English Road."

  When the death of Isaiah “Zay” Turner awakens controversy in the Midwest, Jennifer Davis and Attorney Marcus Brown band together to bring the Turner family their deserved justice. They work closely as a team to conquer allyship, defeat agenda-setting narratives, and decriminalize Isaiah’s name--alongside his mother, uncle and girlfriend, Tiara. 
  With the trial of Isaiah’s killer, Robert McCarthy, coming up soon, conservative supporters protest his freedom, while provoking violence against the Black Lives Matter Movement. And when a key witness goes missing, Jennifer, Marcus, and the team, lack supporting evidence that could help put him behind bars. In attempt to locate the witness, they come across Zay’s old friend, Tyler Young, who gives them information that could potentially incriminate some really crooked people – including McCarthy and a secret criminal organization. 
  The team unite with Tyler to figure out what really happened leading up to the “Fourth of July” shooting (that costed Isaiah his life). But when they’re all exposed to the bigger picture, the truth is much more disturbing than they imagine. 
  Then again, the truth is never easy to hear…is it?

Following a horrific double homicide, the small communities surrounding the lake are wondering who the next victim will be and what the killer wants. 
   
  Russian-American police officer Vanya Petrova is enraged that someone has shattered paradise on her lake community. She seems to be the central figure in this murderer's bloody rampage. Vanya suspects she's somehow acquainted with the sick man responsible for the bloodshed-that the whole mess might involve a Russian crime boss who seeks revenge. 
   
  The killer won't settle for inciting fear in Vanya's community. He wants to ruin her life too.

She stands up for her family, friends, and community, and she won't give up without a struggle. Even if it means losing her very life.
