Dead Politician Society

Robin Spano grew up in Toronto, went to university in New Brunswick, and has also lived in Halifax, Montreal, Muskoka, Winnipeg, London, and Vancouver. She is passionate about politics, loves traveling, and unwinds by being outside and active. She lives in Steveston, BC, with her husband, Keith.

The mayor falls down dead in the middle of a speech.

A university secret society immediately takes credit. Their mission: to create a perfect political system through whatever means possible.

Clare Vengel, fresh from the police academy and beyond bored as a beat cop, goes undercover as a student. She's a mechanic in her spare time, and thinks book smarts are for people who can't handle the real world. She alienates a popular professor, and quickly loses the respect of police superiors.

Another politician is killed, and a second message gloats about the secret society’s involvement. Clare is horrified that student idealism could be ramped up to the point of murder. She gets into gear, forging friendships with students and a sexual liaison with a key suspect.

When two more politicians die, Clare knows that the murderer she has to unmask is someone she has come to consider a friend. She only hopes that the friend doesn’t unmask her first.
