When Fletch finds a wallet with $10,000 in cash inside, he doesn't realize it's the last piece of good luck he's going to see for a while. Because when he calls in to the News-Tribune, he discovers a story he's written is causing quite a sensation, and not the good kind. He might just be out of a job permanently.
If Tom Bradley, the chairman of Wagnall-Phipps and one of Fletch's principal sources, and not incidentally, the source of his paper's embarrassment, is dead, who's been signing his name to company documents, and why doesn't the company treasurer seem to know? If he's alive, how come his widow, Enid, has Tom's ashes on the mantel?
Fletch may have more questions than answers on his hands, but he knows he's a pretty good reporter, and if he's going to get his reputation back, not to mention his job, he's going to have to get to the bottom of more than one mystery.

'You are the weirdest person I ever met.',
By Inspector Gadget "Go Go Gadget Reviews" (On the trail of Doctor Claw) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fletch and the Widow Bradley (Paperback)
Unlikely hero Fletch has been fired from the News Tribune and made a laughing stock by his peers for apparently quoting a man who is long-dead. Disgraced and with his reputation in ruin, Fletch won't give up the story and looks deeper into the shady goings-on at a small company by the name of Wagnall-Phips. At the same time he is also desperately trying to find a man by the name of James St. E Crandall and give him back his missing wallet, which just so happens to contain 25 Thousand Dollar Bills.This was one of my favorite Fletch books so far. It just never gets boring. 'Mystery' is definitely my favorite genre and Fletch is turning into one of my favorite fictional characters. His method of investigation and puzzle-solving is genius and he most definitely deserves a pay-rise. Someone write to his boss Frank. I also find his morals and ethics rather noble and although you always spend the entire book with him you still never really know what's going on inside or what makes him tick. It's been a long time since Gregory McDonald gaves us a new Fletch book. I've only read 4 myself, but he's such a fertile, versatile character he really could go on forever. The book is not without its funny moments. Most of them from Fletch's deadpan mannerisms or unfortunate ironic situations. The poor guy never gets the respect, or woman, he deserves. Reminds me of someone I know.
