Who Killed the Fonz

Readers yearning for simpler times will enjoy this trip down memory lane, which is as comforting as an episode of Happy Days. --Publishers Weekly James Boice has achieved a magic kind of alchemy, exhuming beloved characters from our collective consciousness and gifting them with a fate, a future, and poignant inner lives. Who Killed the Fonz? is the best kind of pop-culture hypothetical -- one that imagines, with heart, wit, and smarts, what happens when the Happy Days fade and real life begins. -- Adam Sternbergh, Edgar-nominated author of The Blinds Shamelessly entertaining... --Kirkus Reviews A wildly inventive and entertaining novel. --Booklist I must confess that I never watched a single episode of Happy Days during its ten-year run, but reading Who Killed The Fonz? made me wish I had.

Happy Days are here again! --Andrew Shaffer, author of the New York Times bestseller Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery
