Fletch, now newly engaged and happily living out his days in Italy, finds himself embroiled in yet another scandal.

Now under the detective’s watchful eye, Fletch must try to clear his name and search for the missing paintings, all while his gorgeous future mother-in-law works to persuade him for help the best way she knows how—seduction.
