"A girl jumped off the motel's roof. Five minutes ago." "Give it to me straight. Does the girl have anything to do with us? I mean, with the campaign? The presidential candidate?" "It's your job, Fletch, to make damned sure she didn't." When Fletch arrives as the new press representative for Governor Caxton Wheeler's presidential campaign, he isn't sure which mystery to solve first: what his new job actually is or why the campaign has been leaving dead women in its tracks. He finds himself on the other side of the press, a human shield deflecting the questions he is asking himself. Are the murders just coincidence, or is a cold-hearted killer looking for a job in the White House? When the campaign shifts into high gear, Fletch's skills are working overtime in a desperate bid of his own to find the killer and to make sure the governor doesn't lose any more votes. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Reading books older than 2000 on my to-read shelves. It's interesting to see how they handle race, gender and other social behaviors. Fletch is actually more progressive than others. The mix of humor and mystery is well done.
