Dead Politician Society
     
The mayor falls down dead in the middle of a speech, and an e-mail taking credit shows up at the Toronto Star obituary desk. It’s signed by a university secret society with a history of violence. Clare Vengel, a rookie cop hungry for action, goes undercover as a student. Clare grew up in a trailer park; a university is foreign territory, and she has trouble relating to the suspects. She gets nowhere fast, and quickly loses the respect of her superiors. Annabel Davis is bored with her job at the Star. She wants fame and glory—not a dull obituary desk. Against police caution, she responds to the e-mail, and starts an electronic dialogue with the self-acclaimed killer. She thinks she is playing a smart game, until she realizes that her impulsive ambition has placed her family at risk, and the stakes are much higher than she imagined. Another politician is killed, and a second e-mail 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 romantic involvement with the professor at the center of it all. 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.
