Something Suspicious in Sask (2006)
“At the top, she paused and stared down that long gloomy hallway to Megan’s room, wishing she had somewhere else to go.
She drew a deep breath and trudged on slowly, as if she were headed for the gallows. In front of Megan’s door she paused again. Hostility seeped through the crack beneath it. Resentment trickled out the keyhole.
Katie placed her hand on the doorknob. She reminded herself that already this summer she had faced up to a furtive family of art thieves, two treacherous gold diggers a...nd a couple of conniving land developers. And she had managed to survive. Why was she so afraid of one faintly freaky teenaged cousin?

Only if she valued her life. Katie tapped on the door and waited. When there was no answer, she took a shaky breath and inched open the door.
Megan lay on her bed, head propped on pillows, reading the book Katie’s mom and Aunt Sarah gave her about birds of the prairies.MoreLess
