Gregory Mcdonald died on Sunday at age 71 in Pulaski, Tennessee.
Most know the gumshoe scribe as the best-selling author of the "Fletch" book series, which was later adapted into a comedy film series starring Chevy Chase.
Mcdonald’s "Running Scared" and "The Brave" were also adapted for the big screen. Mcdonald had 26 published books and won the Edgar Allen Poe Award twice. Before writing the Fletch novels, Mcdonald was a journalist for the Boston Globe. He is survived by his wife, Cherlye, and five children.
