B-list actor, A-list corporate spy. Robert Kerbeck makes his money- his real money - by lying on the phone, tricking people inside multibillion-dollar corporations into telling him things they definitely should not. He' s become one of the world' s greatest practitioners of a unique, shadowy talent called THE RUSE. Ruse explores the lies he told, the celebrities he screwed (and the ones who screwed him), the cons he ran, and the millions he made - and lost - along the way. Kerbeck has never revealed his hand, until now.
"The book is gripping as it chronicles Kerbeck' s disdain for working at his family' s car business, his quiet acting career, and his descent into his moves against big businesses. The details of his sleuthing work are meticulous, but the book still maintains the thrill of a spy novel. Celebrity name-drops add flair to this tale of calculated crimes" --Foreword Reviews
