With the boys of baseball out on strike, Kate Henry finds herself with time on her hands. Passing on the chance to sit in on contract negotiations in New York, Kate instead turns her attention to issues closer to home—helping her boyfriend, Andy Munro, recover from a shooting, and finding Maggie, a local homeless person now gone missing under mysterious circumstances.

When Maggie’s long-lost family suddenly turns up trying to find her, Kate questions their motives . . . and their possible involvement with the murder of a man who turns out to be Maggie’s husband.

Set in 1990’s Toronto, Striking Out is the fourth title in the Kate Henry mystery series.
