Shooting Straight in the Dark Paperback

Shooting Straight in the Dark tells the story of thirty-year-old Kit Mason who has been blind for six years, and still hasn't come to terms with what happened to her. Not only has her songwriting/guitar career stalled, but her personal life is in the pits. Kit's closest friends, Carolina, Susan, Marion, and Jackie, all members of her old softball team, the Ruthless Babes, have encouraged her to branch out into music, deciding—at a ribald, beer-fueled meeting—to kickstart her social life with a companion-wanted advertisement in a Toronto newspaper. Before the plans can take effect, however, one of the Babes is brutally murdered. The police are certain she's the victim of a serial killer on the loose, but the Babes, broken though they are, begin to suspect the police are wrong. With the fighting spirit that served them well on the baseball diamond, they throw themselves—sometimes literally—into the investigation, much to the annoyance of the police detective assigned to the case. What they find puts them all in danger and affects Kits's life in ways she never could have expected—just as her music career and love life are taking a turn for the better. Shooting Straight in the Dark, full of music industry atmosphere and the affectionate banter of good friends, is smart, funny, and packed with suspense. Dimensions 13.84 x 2.13 x 21.59 cm
