Lacey Cartright knew she would one day be famous. U.S. Congressman Cale Wingate, an ex action movie star, felt that his best years—and his love life—were behind him. When their lives collide, ambitions and desires run amuck, culminating in a suspicious death—The Big Nasty. As their whirlwind romance moves from Palm Springs to Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas, casino owner Johnny Falducci, Native American Tonto Whitefish, and the yowling, howling Coma Guy join a kaleidoscope of zany characters in this fast-paced, unforgettable tale.

"Mixing equal parts Elmore Leonard, Desperate Housewives, Carl Hiaasen and Legally Blonde, Rocky Lang has concocted a wholly original and hilarious cocktail of sex and politics that goes down smoothly and leaves you gasping with pleasure. Hollywood and Washington have never been worshiped so fervently or dissected so viciously. If there's any justice in the world, this will soon be a major motion picture."
