Death’s Last Run: A Clare Vengel Undercover Novel
$10.95- 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. As suspicion snowballs, can Clare solve the case before she’s buried alive?

"I want to put a copy of Death’s Last Run in the hands of every mountain lover, every snowboarder, every beer drinker, every crime fiction fan, every reader. This book is too much fun to be missed, by anyone." — Angie Abdou
“The plotting is inventive and multi-layered with lots of suspects to choose from … Spano has opened the door for Clare to go international - I'll be interested to see where she goes and who she becomes next.” — A Bookworm's World
"As always, Spano’s sharp storytelling and economical prose quickly grabbed my attention. What sets her apart even further, however, is her expert handling of multiple perspectives, exploring the quirky citizens of Whistler and their motives without judgment." — The Picky Girl
“Robin Spano doesn’t pull any punches with Death’s Last Run; the book’s not only charming, it’s got swagger. Buy yourself a copy, and then strap on a helmet, because Death’s Last Run is a twisty, turny, mogul-filled ride from start to thrilling finish.” — Crimespree
“The book is written with a light touch and in a straight-forward manner, so it is ideal for a quick escape from reality – especially if you like your escape to be in the mountains during ski season.” — Reviewing the Evidence
