Toronto-based investigative journalist Robyn Doolittle's next book, titled Had It Coming, will be available on Sept. 24, 2019.

Based on the years she spent reporting on how police mishandle sexual assault cases, Had It Coming is an in-depth look at how attitudes around sexual harassment and assault are changing in the #MeToo era.

Doolittle's Unfounded series looked into sexual assault allegations using data gathered from over 870 police forces across the country, and found that many were deemed "baseless" and not properly investigated.

There's a cover!!! So excited to say my book "Had It Coming. What's Fair in the Age of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MeToo?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MeToo</a>" hits shelves this September.

"I'd spent more than two years investigating the ways that police handle — or mishandle — sexual assault investigations before #MeToo broke," Doolittle said in a statement to CBC Books. "I thought I had solid opinions on all things related to these issues, but when I actually started to examine the questions that #MeToo was forcing me to ask, the answers weren't always so simple."

"What I am hoping to do with this book is to bring those important, complicated, uncomfortable, messy conversations into the open."

Doolittle spent years as an investigative journalist for the Toronto Star before leaving to work at the Globe and Mail. In 2017, she won the journalist of the year prize at the National News Awards.

She was a central figure in the 2013 Rob Ford drug saga, being one of the first journalists approached with a video of then Toronto mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. Her reporting on the story won her the Michener Award for public service journalism.

Her first book, Crazy Town, documented the political career of the former Toronto mayor, as well as her role in reporting on his drug use, erratic behaviour and the scandal surrounding it.

Crazy Town won the 2015 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize and has a screen adaptation currently in the works.
