Description:It is the summer of 1994 and major-league baseball players have taken their bats and balls and gone home; they've gone on strike. With no beat to cover, sportswriter Kate Henry finds herself with rare time off to relax at home in Toronto’s east-end Riverdale neighbourhood.All is not tranquil there either. Anti-abortion protesters are picketing the house of a doctor who lives down the block. The papers are full of controversy over the police shooting of a joy-riding black teen, and Kate’s lover, homicide detective Andy Munro, is shot in an incident which only fuels the outcries of police racism.Kate has more than a cranky patient to deal with. While Andy recuperates, Maggie, the homeless woman who has been living in the laneway behind Kate’s house, has suddenly vanished. The police are indifferent, and Kate, prodded by the concern of her tenant’s son, T.C., begins a hunt of her own. During her search, she gradually learns about Maggie’s unlikely and disturbing past. A brutal murder links that past to the present and ultimately engages Kate in a daring and dangerous investigation.Striking Out places Alison Gordon in the front ranks of Canadian crime fiction writers.Librarian's note: the characters, settings, etc. have been done for the 5 volume series: #1.
