With Choke on Your Lies, Smith presents his homage to one of his favorite detectives, Nero Wolfe, but written for the internet porn generation. Octavia VanderPlatts is wealthy, powerful, and comfortable with her weight-or to hear her say it, a rich fat b****. Her IQ is at the genius level, and she uses it to manipulate and frighten anyone who tries to get in her way. She controls an empire built on discrimination lawsuits won against some of the nations top companies. On top of that, Octavia doesnt care one wink what people think of her. So when she offers her old friend poetry professor Mick Thooft some help in his impending divorce, he smells an ulterior motive. Maybe because Frances didnt invite Octavia to the wedding for fear of her clearing the buffet. Not only does Octavia want to help, but shes got evidence-plenty of scandalous photos. Thats not Micks style, so he turns her down flat...until he discovers that Frans trying to take their home based on a near-perfect forgery of his signature. After that he and Octavia charge forward, but soon find theyre in deeper than they realized-robot pens, swinger clubs, and a blackmail scheme that holds an entire college faculty hostage. Just when Mick and Octavia are on the cusp of victory, it all goes terribly wrong. Mick is framed for murder and someone targets Octavias immense wealth and secret backyard greenhouse full of exotic marijuana. With no one on their side except Octavias butler Jennings, her new personal chef Harriet, and their Amazon Warrior lawyer Pamela, Octavia and Mick must find a way to turn the tables before they end up broke, humiliated, and in prison. Praise for CHOKE ON YOUR LIES: What a fantastic rip roaring read. Anthony Neil Smith makes a great case for going to college. If I had known it was so filled with sex, more sex, violence and wicked drama, I might have gone. Really. It is a subtly complex novel that treats its characters with respect even when they are acting completel
