Confess, Fletch

Производитель: "Random House, Inc."

Confess, FletchThe flight from Rome had been pleasant enough, even if the business he was on wasn t exactly. His Italian fiance s father had been kidnapped and presumably murdered, and Fletch is on the trail of a stolen art collection that is her only patrimony. But when he arrives in his apartment to find a dead body, things start to get complicated. Confess, FletchInspector Flynn found him a little glib for someone who seemed to be the only likely suspect in a pretty clear case of homicide. He wasn t exactly uncooperative, but it wasn t like he was entirely forthcoming either. And Flynn wasn t entirely convinced that the nineteenth-century Western artist Edgar Arthur Tharp really occupied most of Fletch s thoughts. Confess, FletchWith the police on his tail and a few other things to do beside prove his own innocence, Fletch makes himself at home in Boston, renting a van, painting it black, and breaking into a private art gallery. That is when he s not entertaining his future mother-in-law and visiting with the good Inspector Flynn and his family.

Gregory Mcdonald

Gregory Mcdonald (February 15, 1937September 7, 2008) was an American mystery writer best known for his character Irwin Maurice Fletcher, an investigative reporter otherwise known as "Fletch." Fletch was later played by Chevy Chase in the movie of the same name. The Fletch series, consisting of nine novels, also spawned the 'Flynn' series, as well as the 'Son of Fletch' series.

Two of the Fletch books have earned Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America: "Fletch" was named Best First Novel in 1975, and "Confess, Fletch" won for Best Paperback Original in 1977. This is the only time a novel and its sequel won back-to-back Edgars.

In "Confess, Fletch," McDonald introduced another character, Inspector Francis Xavier Flynn, a brilliant but eccentric police detective who serves as a foil for Fletch. Flynn would go on to appear in four of his own spin-off novels: "Flynn," "The Buck Passes Flynn," "Flynn's In" and "Flynn's World."

In the novel "Son of Fletch" McDonald introduced the character of Jack Faoni, who is said to be the illegitimate son of Irwin Maurice Fletcher. As a result, Texas-born journalist Jay Embry, inspired by the works of McDonald, adopted the pen name of Jack Faoni.

He has also written two novels in the Skylar series, as well as a number of non-series (and non-mystery) novels.

Before writing the Fletch novels, Mcdonald was a journalist for the Boston Globe.

Mcdonald was born in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. He died in Giles County, Tennessee in 2008.
