* Game 2, Round 7 - Canadiana Literature - Eric Wilson
1. Liz is plunged into a deadly world of biker gangs, kidnapping and
international smuggling -- and it all starts in rural
Saskatchewan.
2. Was it really the butler who did it? Or maybe it was the
snoopy maid? Tom and Liz try to solve a mysterious disappearance
and find a lost treasure in a capital city.
3. A woman's scream hurls Tom into the middle of a whodunnit
mystery. Trapped with no way out, Tom must confront the culprit
and save the day before arriving at the final stop.
4. Liz visits British Columbia for her best friend's wedding and
quickly becomes embroiled not only in her first romance, but
in the mysterious disappearance of a priceless item from the
stately Thirteen Oaks mansion.
5. Within the walls of a gloomy estate known as Blackwater, Liz
discovers the strange world of Baron Nicolai Zaba, a man who
lives in constant fear. What is the secret of the ancient
chapel's underground vault? Why are the words In Evil Memory
scrawled on a wall?
6. While spending the summer down east, Liz and her friends see some
eerie things. The adventure takes them from an ancient cemetery
through a haunted church, and into a deserted lighthouse in
this legendary location.
7. During a cold Winnipeg winter, Tom unravels a web of secrets.
In his hometown, he explores an abandoned house, discovers the
mystery of "the Golden Child", and protects one of his friends
from danger.
8. An investigation into the kidnapping of his schoolmate leads
Tom to a seedy cafe in Manitoba and an unexpected encounter
with a desperate criminal. After getting one step too close
to the kidnappers, Tom is taken prisoner and needs all of his
wits to survive.
9. When Liz travels east and lands a role in a summer production
of Annie, she learns that an upcoming vote on the town's future
may ruin its charm and tradition. Liz and her friend Makiko
find themselves investigating an old legend, a series of arsons
and a mysterious mansion on an island where time has stood still.
10. A fire burning on the sea... icy fingers in the night... a
dog that suddenly won't go near its master's bedroom... these
are the baffling ingredients of the spine-chilling mystery
that begins when Professor Zinck invites Tom and his sister
Liz to visit.

Canada's most successful young-adult writers and the adventures of
young crimefighting siblings Tom and Liz Austen.
In each case please give the *title* of the book we describe.

"Johnson"; we still need that one's actual name.)
