Trouble has a way of finding sports journalist Kate Henry. And with her natural curiosity and nose for a good story, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Dead Pull Hitter

For the first time in their history, the Toronto Titans are on a winning streak and headed for the World Series—a dream come true for sports reporter and baseball fan Kate Henry. But when a pair of murders hits the team at its very heart, Kate finds herself in the middle of the investigation.

Covering both the end-of-season excitement and the murders, Kate is drawn closer and closer to the killer—and to handsome Andy Munro, the police detective assigned to the case. And when some explosive evidence lands unexpectedly in her lap, Kate is given the key to solving the case.

Safe at Home

As the baseball season heats up, a serial killer stalks young boys on the streets of Toronto. While her boyfriend, Sergeant Andy Munro is at the heart of the investigation, Kate herself is working on the scoop of a lifetime—one that will rock the baseball world to its core.

Thrust firmly into the spotlight as the result of her explosive story, Kate’s world collides violently with Andy’s as the killer suddenly threatens those closest to her. With time running out, can Kate save those she loves the most?

Set in 1990’s Toronto, The Dead Pull Hitter and Safe at Home are the first two books in the Kate Henry mystery series.
