Gregory Mcdonald: The Buck Passes Flynn (USA 2004)

From the Publisher:
"Two-time Edgar winner Mcdonald... has created another complicated, crusty, engaging character. Fascinating." -- Booklist
On medical leave from the Boston Police Department, the eccentric Police Inspector and offbeat operative Francis Xavier Flynn might have his most perplexing assignment yet. Someone is giving away hundreds of millions of dollars, and Flynn has to find out, in a hurry, who. As he races from Texas to Las Vegas, from Massachusetts to Russia, Flynn quickly discovers that this is not the pastime of an eccentric billionaire, nor is it a nefarious counterfeiting scheme. Someone is looking to wreck the nation's economy and bizarrely enough, spending a lot of money to do it. With every lead going nowhere, Flynn's most dizzying logic is put to the test, but the clue he needs could be somewhere in his own murky past.

"Flynn's repartee is state of the art: rangily allusive, deceptively gentle. And Mcdonald's blend of parody, farce, and sentiment... is rich, yet spare, edgily appealing." -- Kirkus

From the Publisher:
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU FOUND $100,000 ON YOUR DOORSTEP?
In Ada, Texas, you'd leave town.
In the resort town of Frampton, Mass., you could finally tell the tourists where to go.
At the Pentagon, you'd quit your job -- and forget about national defense.
But if you're Francis Xavier Flynn, you'd investigate the most elaborate, outrageous financial scheme of the century!

knows how to make people talk: the Reverend who stays in Ada even after his flock has fled... the tantalizing Ducey Webb... a paranoid clerk from the Federal Reserve... even the President of the United States.
