But now Tinseltown is no longer interested in his artsy, introspective scripts. They want Terminator cyborgs and exploding Stay Puft Marshmallow men. Then later that same day Richard gets a phone call with even worse news: His best friend from childhood back in Milwaukee is dead. Arthur Fonzarelli. The Fonz . He lost control of his motorcycle while crossing a bridge and plummeted into the water below.

The significance of friendship. The importance of community. “Wildly inventive and entertaining” ( Booklist ), Who Killed the Fonz? is an “irresistible” (New York Newsday ) twist on a beloved classic that proves sometimes you can go home again.
