Fletch and the Widow Bradley

When Fletch finds a wallet with $10,000 in cash inside, he doesnââ,¬â"¢t realize itââ,¬â"¢s the last piece of good luck heââ,¬â"¢s going to see for a while. Because when he calls in to the News-Tribune, he discovers a story heââ,¬â"¢s written is causing quite a sensation, and not the good kind. He might just be out of a job permanently.

If Tom Bradley, the chairman of Wagnall-Phipps and one of Fletchââ,¬â"¢s principal sources, and not incidentally, the source of his paperââ,¬â"¢s embarrassment, is dead, whoââ,¬â"¢s been signing his name to company documents, and why doesnââ,¬â"¢t the company treasurer seem to know? If heââ,¬â"¢s alive, how come his widow, Enid, has Tomââ,¬â"¢s ashes on the mantel?

Fletch may have more questions than answers on his hands, but he knows heââ,¬â"¢s a pretty good reporter, and if heââ,¬â"¢s going to get his reputation back, not to mention his job, heââ,¬â"¢s going to have to get to the bottom of more than one mystery.
