"It is books like this -- light, fast, and funny -- that gave paperbacks their good name, which is no revelation to fans of the earlier Fletch novels." -- People
An iBooks bestseller in Mysteries & Thrillers
Fletch, as unbridled as ever and still living the good life in Italy on his ill-gotten fortune, gets a surprising visit from two surly FBI agents. The pair offers him a deal: either he attend the American Journalism Alliance convention and work as an undercover spy for them, or be shipped back to headquarters and face jail time for tax evasion.

Reluctantly agreeing to the scheme, he catches a red-eye flight back to the States. But just as rubber hits tarmac in Virginia, news breaks on a murder at the convention. The victim -- a newspaper tycoon and former employer of I. M. Fletch -- was no stranger to enemies. And at a hotel full of reporters who'd all had their dealings with the tyrannical leader, everyone's a suspect.

From the Publisher:
Fletch's Fortune
He hadn't been a practicing journalist for years, although people remembered him and he still has a few contacts. And he's pretty sure he hasn't paid his dues to the American Journalism Alliance anytime recently. But somebody has.

Fletch's Fortune
Enjoying himself on the French Riviera, developing a killer tan, and sleeping with the neighbor's wife, Fletch is feeling pretty flush. But when agents Eggers and Fabens show up with a little more information about Fletch than is comfortable and an invitation to the A.J.A. convention, how could he refuse?

Fletch's Fortune
So he finds himself enlisted as a spy among his peers. But before he can even set up his surveillance, there's a murder. And almost everybody's a suspect. Because a lot of people were employed by Walter March, and most of them had a reason to hate him.

Back cover:
Fletch's Fortune
Snatched from bliss on the Riviera, Fletch was whisked to the journalism convention with a suitcase full of bugging devices and a bizarre assignment: dig up some juicy scandals on Walter March, the ruthless newspaper tycoon... and the rest of the American press establishment.

Then Walter March was found lying face up with a nasty pair of scissors stuck in his back. It was the crime of the century. And a hell of a story.

Fletch's Fortune
With all the red-hot action coming through his tape machine from the other bedrooms -- and two magnificent women longing for a taste of his bedroom manner -- Fletch was taking his sweet time cracking a story worth more than a fistful of Pulitzer Prizes. Only he hadn't planned on the surprise arrival of the Vice-President -- in time for the scorching kiss of a bullet...

Fletch's Fortune
A blockbuster of suspense in the bestselling tradition of FLETCH and CONFESS, FLETCH.

Inside:
"Fletch had bugged a lot of people in his time. But he'd never bugged so many at once. What with some interesting women around and some far-out orgies to eavesdrop on, Fletch was in for a wild convention. Then Walter March, publisher of a string of powerful newspapers, met a brutal demise. And at the American journalism convention, plenty of people had the motive and the opportunity.

With the best investigative reporters in the business gathered under one roof, the competition was stiff for the witty and wicked I. M. Fletcher. But Fletch had something going for him the other hacks couldn't match. Himself."
