Gregory Mcdonald: Flynn (USA 2019)

From the Publisher:
Infusing elements of dark reality into this richly detailed, comical series, Mcdonald's first volume, Flynn, delves deeper into the curious character first introduced in the bestselling Fletch series -- Francis Xavier Flynn.

Early one morning as Boston's only investigator is returning home from solving another peculiar case, he has the displeasure of witnessing a spectacularly horrible show outside his front door: a massive aircraft, carrying over one hundred souls, exploding in midair over the harbor. Almost immediately, the Human Surplus League takes credit for the heinous act of terrorism. But "Reluctant Flynn" isn't so easily convinced, unlike his partner and governmental counterparts.

Now finding himself at the whim of the tedious and ill-mannered FBI agents as they follow bunk leads and question all the wrong suspects, he decides to do his own digging, employing family and encountering new friends and old acquaintances along the way. As the truth begins to trickle forth, Flynn finds himself staring down a much bigger -- and much deadlier -- problem.

From the Publisher:
"Flynn is one of the smartest, gentlest, most sarcastic cops you will ever meet." -- The New York Times
It might have been an accident that brought down the Boeing 707 over Boston Harbor, virtually in Flynn's own backyard. But it seems unlikely, with so many potential targets on board: the heavily insured, elderly Federal judge; the has-been British actor; the middleweight champ; the Middle Eastern finance minister. The motive could have been greed, murder, revenge, or even terrorism -- and it's up to the good inspector to get to the bottom of it.

"Much more than a tough sarcastic cop." -- The Washington Post

FLYNN
Francis Xavier Flynn, cop-turned-inspector for Boston's finest for the time being anyhow. A family man whose adolescent daughter just got a ruby pin from I.M. Fletcher, a.k.a. Fletch, and whose son was just fleeced of a violin.

FLYNN
And there they are, talking about rubies and violins when a plane explodes overhead. Burning people fall out of the sky.

FLYNN
Aboard the plane were a federal judge, a British actor, a middleweight champ, the Ifadi Minister of the Exchequer -- and, wouldn't you know it, a case for the formidable Flynn.
