Well, he found a walled with a whole lot of money in it and cannot find the owner. So he starts interviewing those nearest the dead man - his business associates, family, and so on - he eventually flies across the country a couple of times (and up to Alaska, too).Īt this point in Fletch's life, he is notoriously dead broke - recently divorced (again) with attorneys looking for alimony payments, and (as mentioned) fired. He knows he did good work - how did they fool him? More importantly, why? If his career is over, he's going to know why it happened. He's also mystified - he knows what he read. Not only that, he's probably finished forever as a journalist. Quoting corpses is generally frowned upon (unless you're writing about voters' views on Chicago politicians, I guess), and so Fletch is fired. The teeny tiny problem there is that the particular CEO had been dead for a couple of years. They were doing fine, and Fletch had quoted recent memos from the CEO demonstrating that. He'd filled in for an injured colleague to write a profile on a small local business that the Gazette had written an exposé about a few years before, just to see how they were doing in the aftermath. This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader.įletch checks in to his office before returning from a few days away to find out that he's fired. ![]()
