As a fledgling reporter, Fletch is doing more flailing than anything else. That and floating around from department to department trying to figure where he fits in. His managing editor’s got him pegged for the society pages, but the kind of society Fletch gets involved with is anything but polite.
Fletch Won
His first big interview, a millionaire lawyer with a crooked streak and an itch to give away some of his ill-gotten gains, ends up dead in the News-Tribune’s parking lot before Fletch can ask question number one. So Fletch ends up going after the murderer instead, and ends up learning a thing or two about crime and punishment.
Fletch Won
At the same time, he’s supposed to be covering (or maybe uncovering) a health spa that caters to all its clients needs, and gets hired as a very personal trainer. Never mind that he’s supposed to be getting married at the end of the week; Fletch has a few other engagements to take care of first.
From Publishers Weekly
This comic thriller in the Fletch series takes us back to Fletch as a fledgling newspaper reporter who wants to get promoted out of the society pages. His chance comes when Donald Habek, a wealthy lawyer, is shot dead. Fletch competes with Biff Wilson, the crime reporter, to investigate the murder, and this leads to interviews of many oddball characters in various strange situations. The story, which PW called "wild, ribald and swift," ends in a mad scramble, with Biff enraged at the competition and the police trying to arrest Fletch. Major ad/promo; author tour.

This duo represent the 1981 and 1985 installments, respectively, in the author's ongoing Fletch series, which now includes nine novels. The former finds reporter/ investigator Fletch in trouble with his editor after quoting a business mogul who apparently is dead, but if he has shuffled off his mortal coil, who then is signing his name to rather large checks? In the latter volume, Fletch investigates the very complete services provided to clients at a luxurious spa. The murder of a millionaire he is supposed to interview turns his attentions elsewhere. But are the two connected? Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
