Prince and Bruce are dominating FM radio. Ron and Nancy are headed back to the White House. Crockett and Tubbs are leading men everywhere to embrace pastels. And Richard Cunningham? Well, Richard Cunningham is having a really bad Sunday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, there¿s the meeting with his agent. A decade ago, the 40-something Cunningham was one of Hollywood¿s hottest screenwriters. But Tinseltown is no longer interested in his artsy, introspective scripts. They want Terminator cyborgs and exploding Stay Puft Marshmallow men. If he isn¿t interested in that sort of thing, his agent tells him, he¿s going to have to find new representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen later that same day, he gets a phone call with even worse news. His best friend from childhood back in Milwaukee, back when everyone called him Richie, is dead. Arthur Fonzarelli. The Fonz. Lost control of his motorcycle while crossing a bridge and plummeted into the water below. Two days of searching and still no body, no trace of his trademark leather jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard flies back for the memorial service, only to discover Fonzie¿s death was no accident amp;mdash; it was murder.

And while much has changed in the interim amp;mdash; good-bye drive-in movie theaters, hello VCRs amp;mdash; the story centers around the same timeless themes as the show: the meaning of family. The significance of friendship. The importance of community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast-paced and full of nostalgia, \u003ci\u003eWho Killed the Fonz?\u003c\/i\u003e is an ingenious twist on a beloved classic that proves sometimes you can go home again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100693840112,"sku":"2940170456666","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170456666_p0.jpg?v=1763710408","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170456666","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
