Okay, we're live.

Hi, this is William Ramsey.

Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show.

I have a very special guest.

His name is Robert Kerbeck, and he just published two days ago.

It came out on Amazon February 22nd, 2022, a book titled Ruse, Lying the American Dream,

from Hollywood to Wall Street, finished it this morning.

It's an excellent book.

It's not Robert's first book.

He's also written and published in 2019, a book titled Malibu Burning, the real story behind L.A.'s

Most Devastating Wildfire.

And on Amazon right now, it has 148 five-star reviews.

And both of his books, his most recent book and that old book,

also have audiobooks.

So you can check that out.

Interestingly, this new book, Ruse has a blurb from Frank Abingnell.

If you know his name, he's the author of Catch Me If You Can,

which was made into a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.

And this book fits into that vein.

Also, his last book, Los Angeles Review of Books, called it The Best Kind of Nonfiction,

So Visceral It Feels Like Fiction.

Robert Kerbeck is the founder of the Malibu Writers Circle,
