STRAIGHT LIES (Kensington Publishing, 2009)
Grant Lambert and Chase LaMarca, a pair of small-time gay criminals, learn about a sex tape proving that Romeo Romero, the world's hottest openly gay celebrity is actually heterosexual. What should be a simple plan -- retrieve the tape, blackmail the celebrity, and live happily ever after -- gets complicated when the tape is left in the back of a cab, setting in motion a madcap crime caper involving:
* a mercenary tabloid gossip editor; * a lesbian realtor who gets an adrenaline rush from crime, and her spoiled girlfriend; * a kinky Internet predator by night who just happens to be a cop by day; * an alcoholic ex-cabbie who knows the streets of New York better than anyone; * a boy toy whose IQ might be smaller than his waist size; * a shallow social climber who has never crossed a bridge he didn't burn... * and Tori Spelling.
Complications, needless to say, ensue, leading to what Booklist calls "a laugh-out-loud endgame farce with definite switch-hit appeal."
