    Creator

    Spano, Robin

    Abstract

    In Dead Politician Society, the mayor falls down dead in the middle of a speech, and a university secret society promptly claims credit for the murder. Clare Vengel is given her first undercover assignment: to pose as a student and penetrate the society. She's a mechanic in her spare time, and thinks book smarts are for people who can't handle the real world. Instead of infiltrating the club, she alienates a popular professor, and quickly loses the respect of police superiors.

  • Death's last run : Clare Vengel undercover, book 3

    Creator

    Spano, Robin

    Abstract

    A young snowboarder is found dead on the Blackcomb Glacier, and Whistler police want to close the case as suicide. The victim’s mother, a U.S. senator, says her daughter would not, and did not, kill herself. At her request, the FBI sends in an undercover agent — Clare Vengel — to find out who might have killed Sacha and why. Dropped into a world of partying with ski bums and snow bunnies, Clare soon discovers that Sacha was involved in an LSD smuggling ring. Worse: the top cop in Whistler is in cahoots with the smugglers, and Clare’s cover is too precarious for comfort.

In the background is George Smiley, ready to make the game play out just as Control wants.
