"I loved this comic caper with its twisty pretzel plot, clever
invented language, and an attitude that's Carl Hiaasen channeling
Dane Cook."
--"Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"
"[G]rand entertainment...Double and triple crosses abound in the
careening plot...The writing is tight and wonderfully glib, and
Vorhaus slyly, shrewdly hints that he's snuking the reader. No
caper-novel fan should miss this one."
--"Booklist"
"Amusing thriller about the misadventures of a con man."
--"Publishers Weekly"
"Now "that's" a scheme!"
-Charles Ponzi
"Whether you're a mook or a snuke, " The California Roll "is more
than entertainment, it's an education. Buyer beware: John Vorhaus
will steal your money and hours of your life, giving you nothing in
return but a great read--fast, funny and very, very smart."
-Harley Jane Kozak, Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity award-winning
author of "A Date You Can't Refuse"

"Please let me send you $50 million."
-Patrick Noochi, Nigerian businessman
"John Vorhaus sure knows his stuff--a little too well, if you ask
me. "The California Roll" is a hilarious and highly suspicious ride
into the world of grift. It's an immensely enjoyable read and an
excellent primer if you're looking for a career change."
-Lisa Lutz, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Revenge of the
Spellmans"
" "
"It's not too late to get a real job!"
