Choke on Your Lies by Anthony Neil Smith
Publisher: Anthony Neil Smith
The author calls this stand-alone a "homage to one of his favorite detectives, Nero Wolfe."
About Choke on Your Lies (from the publisher): 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 nation's top companies. On top of that, Octavia doesn't 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 didn't invite Octavia to the wedding for fear of her clearing the buffet. Not only does Octavia want to help, but she's got evidence — plenty of scandalous photos. That's not Mick's style, so he turns her down flat … until he discovers that Fran's trying to take their home based on a near-perfect forgery of his signature. After that he and Octavia charge forward, but soon find they're 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 Octavia's immense wealth and secret backyard greenhouse full of exotic marijuana. With no one on their side except Octavia's 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.
