About this listen

In a hard-hitting thriller from the author of Lights Out and Dangerous Play, reporter Kate Green courts danger once again when the famous subject of her next story is kidnapped during the US Open.

With a hard-won Emmy now gracing her mantel, sports reporter and former Olympian Kate Green turns her energy to the action unfolding in Flushing Meadows. Working on a feature for her weekly TV show, she spotlights two of today’s biggest female tennis stars: the sunny up-and-comer and the brash veteran. But the project goes sideways when one turns up missing.

Following an interview with Kate, one player receives a sinister text with a disturbing photo of the other woman, bound and gagged. Kate calls on her estranged father, an NYPD detective, for help in launching a search. Although wary he’s hiding something, she’s not sure where else to turn.

Their investigation leads to the victim’s hometown—and a growing list of suspects. The kidnapper threatens to spill secrets that could destroy lives. Tangled up in a deadly web of deceit, Kate races to connect the dots and find the missing player…before it’s too late.

“Whip smart and instantly entertaining! Only Elise Hart Kipness—with her depth of experience, insider access, and storytelling savvy—could so rivetingly reveal the tense and taut behind-the-scenes world of sports: the relentlessness of competition, the desperation of ambition, and the power of desire. Kipness knows her stuff and will have you turning pages as fast as you can.”—Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author

“Elise Hart Kipness serves up an ace with the latest installment of her addictive series that mixes pulse-pounding crimes with the high-stakes world of elite sports. This time, intrepid sports reporter Kate Green faces a race against time to save a top tennis pro who has been kidnapped smack bang in the middle of the US Open. Close Call is another winner in a series that just keeps getting better.”—Lisa Gray, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author
