CBC Showcase: Fiction on the Edge

"I was the ghost of school corridors.
Skye was the devil.
And I was doomed from the day she spoke to me."

cover Playing in Traffic

by Gail Giles

Sky Colby is the multi-pierced, multi-tatooed girl hanging around the cybercafes: always out at odd hours in marginal places. So why has she singled out Matt Lanthrop, an almost invisible nobody, for special attention? Clearly, she has a dangerous agenda, but how can Matt resist the mystery and drama Skye trails in her Goth wake? This gripping page-turner will propel readers from one surprising revelation to the next right to the shocking end.
