Side Hustle

"The twists and turns of who-done-it keep you guessing. If you love Veronica Mars, you'll love Darcy Walker." ... Whitney Cannavina

A dead body and cold pizza. Can an aspiring detective solve the case without falling into the hands of a killer?

Los Angeles. Darcy Walker loathes crime, and murder tops her list. So to keep from going mad with boredom before she enters the Police Academy, she kicks butt delivering savory deep-dish favorites to adoring clientele. But when her latest drop-off reveals a customer chilling in a pool of his own blood, she can't resist gathering clues while she waits for the cops.

Annoyed when the investigators spurn her offer to help, Darcy keeps a vital piece of evidence to herself. And though she risks getting blackballed from her dream career, she's determined to find the culprit first... even if it means reaching out to the seedy underworld.

Can this stubborn sleuth nail the murderer before she becomes Most Wanted?
