Gregory Mcdonald
Gregory Mcdonald (February 15, 1937 – September 7, 2008) was an American mystery writer best known for his creation of the character Irwin Maurice Fletcher, an investigative reporter who preferred the nickname "Fletch."
Two of the Fletch books earned Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America: ''Fletch'' was named Best First Novel in 1975, and ''Confess, Fletch'' won for Best Paperback Original in 1977. This is the only time a novel and its sequel won back-to-back Edgars. Mcdonald would go on to write seven more ''Fletch'' novels, including the prequels ''Fletch Won'' and ''Fletch Too''. The original book became a 1985 movie of the same name starring Chevy Chase.
==Personal life==
Mcdonald was born in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. He was educated at Harvard, paying his own way by operating yachts, and worked as a teacher before becoming a journalist for the ''Boston Globe'' in the late 1960s. He finally left his newspaper position to become a novelist full-time with the publication of ''Fletch''. In the mid-1980s, he moved to Pulaski, a city in Giles County, Tennessee. There, he bought an antebellum farm and became involved in local politics.〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/oct/06/usa ''The Guardian''〕 He died at his home from prostate cancer in 2008.
