Fletch Lives
“When there's more trouble than one man can handle...there's more than one man for the job.”
Fletch is a fish out of water in small-town Louisiana, where he's checking out a tumbledown mansion he's inherited. When a woman he flirts with turns up dead, he becomes a suspect and must find the killer and clear his name.
