Provenance

Where it came from

The Buck Passes Flynn, published in 1981, is part of Gregory Mcdonald's celebrated Fletch series, which chronicles the investigative escapades of the sardonic journalist Irwin Maurice 'Fletch' Fletcher. This particular edition was released by G.K. Hall, a publisher renowned for its large-print library editions, making the work accessible to a wider readership during an era when the Fletch novels were reaching the height of their cultural relevance.

Gregory Mcdonald's approach to the mystery genre was defined by his sharp, minimalist prose and a protagonist who eschewed traditional detective archetypes in favor of quick wit and cynical detachment. The series, which began in the 1970s, was highly regarded for its subversion of hardboiled crime fiction conventions, and The Buck Passes Flynn remains a quintessential example of Mcdonald's ability to balance intricate plotting with his signature irreverent humor.
