Fletch Won

Fletch Won by McDonald, Gregory. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780446340953.

As a fledgling reporter, Fletch is doing more flailing than anything else. His managing editors got him pegged for the society pages, but the kind of society Fletch gets involved with is anything but polite. 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-Tribunes 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.
