0446513253 Stated First Edition. Clean, tight and unmarked. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly This comic thriller in the Fletch series takes us back to Fletch as a fledgling newspaper reporter who wants to get promoted out of the society pages. His chance comes when Donald Habek, a wealthy lawyer, is shot dead. Fletch competes with Biff Wilson, the crime reporter, to investigate the murder, and this leads to interviews of many oddball characters in various strange situations. The story, which PW called "wild, ribald and swift," ends in a mad scramble, with Biff enraged at the competition and the police trying to arrest Fletch. Major ad/promo; author tour. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal As Rose Kennedy's personal secretary in the 1970s, Gibson was in a prime position to observe the Kennedy family. What emerges after all the anecdotes of the famous family members, and the particular eccentricities of Rose, is the story of an elderly lady, sapped of much of her former vigor. She is ill, often cantankerous, tired of children and problems. She seeks routine, order, and calm. There is much of interest to Kennedy fans, e.g., a detailed account of a visit from Rosemary, the oldest daughter, retarded and institutionalized since childhood. Given the continued interest in the Kennedys, most public libraries will want this. Terrill Brooks, Baker Coll . Lib., Flint, Mich. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
