As the title Scamalot implies, the scams come fast and furious in this fun novel set in Hollywood. Upscale escort/call girl Kellie Householder has just initiated a million dollar scam against a TV star, when her big brother, Jerry, and his pal, George, appear on the scene. Both are fresh out of prison and are flat broke. The parolees stumble on to Kellie's scam and decide to hustle her for some money. She rebuffs them, and then in an act of compassion, hires Jerry and George to help carry out her scheme against squeaky clean TV personality Alice Ridgeway, who doesn't want the truth of her indiscretion to become public. But Alice has a scam of her own: keeping $800,000 of the million she promises to pay to keep her secret in the closet. There's also a photography shop owner who printed pornographic photos of Kellie, and decides to blackmail her over the shots. All the plots come together, as Jerry and George go to the drop-off spot dressed as orthodox rabbis. Since everyone wants their share of the million, who ends up with the cash?
