Title: Convention of Death
Product review: The CIA will go to any lengths of obtain information on members of the fourth estate. Fletch is blackmailed to bug a convention of his fellow journalists with treats of jail time for not paying income taxes.Before Fletch arrives in Virginia Walter Marsh, president of the American Journalism Alliance. The grand old man is not the beloved patriarch as portrayed by his grieving spouse. Fletch discovers many of his colleagues have had their careers destroy or hampered by the power Marsh exerts on the industry.The ending of this one is unpredictable, but it lacks the sparkle of the first two for which McDonald won Edgar awards. FLETCH'S FORTUNE is still a good read.Nash Black, author of QUALIFYING LAPS.
