What to expect
After spending his younger years wandering and womanizing, Fletch has settled down in rural Tennessee with his new Southern belle, Carrie. But unfortunately, chaos always comes knocking for the semiretired reporter.
One stormy evening on his sizable but modest farm, a wet and dirty escaped convict named Jack arrives on his front doorstep, claiming to be his long-lost son. Baffled by the statement but intrigued by the young, intelligent man, Fletch decides to play along with the kid’s game and help him and his cohorts abscond to Alabama.
As questions begin to arise about Jack’s peculiar motives, Fletch and Carrie are reluctantly drawn further into a racially charged plot that’s quickly turning violent.
Critics Review

“Lively, graceful, and sly.”
People
-
“[Mcdonald] certainly hasn’t forgotten how to leap right into a story…Jack seems like a chip off the old block.”
Washington Post
-
“Readers will gladly succumb to Mcdonald’s laconic wit and smooth pacing in this tenth entry in the Fletch series.”
Publishers Weekly
-
“More boisterous high jinks than mystery, like a class reunion of stand-up guys resting on their résumés. Even so: welcome back, Fletch.”
