Adapted from the popular 1974 film, Freebie and the Bean by Paul B. Ross follows two unlikely partners: Freebie, a rough-around-the-edges cop who wants to rise through the ranks, and Bean, the meticulous and neurotic detective who fears everything but duty. When they must protect a racketeer from hit men in San Francisco during the Super Bowl weekend, chaos, car chases, and comic mishaps ensue. A high-octane police action comedy wrapped in crime and comedy, this novelization offers fans a chance to revisit the madness and mayhem of the big screen in paperback.
