Fletch begins the series working as a lowly reporter; soon, however, he acquires a moderate fortune and becomes a globetrotter perpetually working on a biography of Edgar Arthur Tharp, a fictional artist. He tends to stumble upon mysteries, often to be suspected of crimes by the police, and to win through depending heavily on his wit and wits.

The "Fletch" books prompted a spinoff, the "Flynn" books, starring Francis Xavier Flynn, who featured in Confess, Fletch.
