When Grant Lambert and Chase LaMarca — partners in life and crime — learn that $7 million in not-so-petty cash is hidden in the safe of a rightwing mega-church, they assemble a team of gay and lesbian criminals to infiltrate the church and steal the money. But this Gang That Can't Do Anything Straight quickly finds its plans complicated by corrupt congressmen (and their gay aides); an "ex-gay" conference; an FBI investigation and — most jarring for these born-and-bred New Yorkers — life in the northern Virginia suburbs. And then there is Dr. Oscar Hurley — founder of the church — and his right-hand man, the Rev. Dennis Merribaugh, who prove themselves every bit as adept as the professionals when it comes to larceny...

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."
