Fletch Won

It's Fletch's first case. As a rookie reporter for the News-Tribune, he's been covering all the routine stories no one else wants. With his already slightly skewed view of the world the young Fletch only manages to get himself and the paper into trouble—more trouble than his boss thinks he's worth. As a last chance he's assigned to the society page to cover the story of Donald Habeck, a wealthy criminal lawyer who wants to donate $5 million to the local art museum. It's a simple public relations feature—until Habeck turns up dead in the parking lot of the News-Tribune and Fletch gets the opportunity he's been waiting for. (From the dust jacket)
