Kate McCall dazzles audiences on stage by night, but by day she searches for her father’s killer. She seems to gain ground, until the man who pulled the trigger sends texts that prove he’s one step ahead. While investigating the murderous messages, she takes on an embezzlement case from a handsome sports bar owner who might just be her top suspect…

Balancing a killer’s clues with her reckless sports bar crush, she enlists the help of her quirky neighbors and zany acting troupe. But if she can’t close both cases, Kate’s next intermission could be permanent.

    “Rich Leder has provided yet another highly amusing, entertaining, and well-crafted mystery. I enjoyed this quirky and adventurous tale from beginning to end and adore the intrepid Kate McCall. Kate has mad skills, and so does Rich Leder.”

    “This story is a hoot!”

  • The Genre Minx Book Reviews

    “There is so much to love with Emboozlement! Kate gives her best performances in this story. Back with her were her zany sidekicks and wow were they in rare form. I love Fu’s character, I think he is my favorite. Once again there is a little romance but will things work out for Kate this time? Who knows ... lol ... oh wait, I do, but you will just have to read to find out. The dialogue is still as witty as ever and the storyline with her father’s murderer is both hilarious and serious. Things get quite deadly in this book with a mystery surrounding who lured a contract killer. If you are looking for a humorous mystery story then I highly recommend Emboozle­ment to you!

  • Olsadeyes Reviews

    “I loved this book. Rich Leder’s newest installment of the Kate McCall Crime Caper series is a tour de force and probably his best work yet. Leder’s writing is fast and smart, opinionated and adult and unashamedly funny. The story follows Kate McCall, private investigator and an astoundingly varied cast of New York charac­ters through a tightly wound maze of plot lines ... dishing out plenty of crime & mystery, suspense and murders, romance and eccentricity but best all, lots of laughs. Leder’s expert storytelling is so rich and layered, using city attitude, offbeat charac­ter perspectives, inside language and always with his distinct comedic point of view that the reader is anxious to turn the page, always wanting more. Such a joy, so much fun to read. Five (S) Stars-Highly recommended.”

  • The Island Wanderer

    “I love the characters Mr. Leder has created in this series, they are so off-the-beaten ­track that you can't help but love them ... he also does a great job as a tourist guide of NYC ( where the stories take place), his descriptions of the city are fantastic and with each book, I want to return to NYC to check out all the marvelous places he describes. I read books one and two and really enjoyed them, so I was very happy to pick this one up too.”

  • Writing and Coffee. Especially Coffee.

    “I can’t tell you all the ways this series is fun, fabulous, laugh-out-loud funny, and an absolute gift to anyone who loves New York in all its eccentricities. But please, if you like crime capers with elaborate stings instead of shootouts, with larger-than-life characters instead of chase scenes, and with nonstop hilarious action, do yourself a favor and start from the beginning of this fabulous series. With any luck, by the time you finish all three, Rich Leder will have the next book ready.”

  • Whispering Stories Book Blog

    “Fast paced plot with just the right balance of story, humor, superb characters ... something to keep your mind occupied all the rime. “

  • The Great Chase Bailey Review

    “I absolutely love McCall and her gang of misfits, especially Fu. Fu if you are reading this, “Fu you Fu"! Mr. Leder is as impressive and funny as he always is. You would think that the third book in a series would lose some momentum. But; it doesn't. Funny, funny and funnier!”

  • Tome Tender

    “Looking for some sunshine on a cloudy day? Spend a few hours in the zany world of Rich Leder's Emboozlement ... always entertaining with whip-smart, hurricane force action and Kate McCall, the off-off-off-off Broadway actress who deserves a Tony for the "No-you did NOT just do that" category!”

  • Cheyanne's Reviews

    “Rich Leder delivers yet another brilliant note to his jam-packed McCall & Company series ... the return to this world and its fantastic, amusing, and crazy array of characters is a delight ... Leder continues to deliver heart and soul with his fast­-paced, chaotic narrative.”
