Side Hustle: A Female Sleuth Thriller

This novel is the first book in A.J. Lape's pulse-pounding and hilarious Darcy Walker Investigations series--where Darcy leaves the Midwest for the bright lights and bustling action of Los Angeles, California. Crimes are darker, people are more colorful, but one thing remains the same—Darcy Walker solves crime one way: living life like a verb.

Darcy Walker excels at lies, deception, and outthinking the bad guys. She has the résumé to prove it. While waiting to attend the police academy, she takes her talents into pizza delivery. Little does she know, life as a delivery driver isn't all pizza and wings.

On a late-night run to a customer's home, Darcy's delivery turns deadly. She stumbles into a murder mystery straight out of a Hollywood script—a blood-soaked crime scene with no known witnesses except a suspicious man with a Mona Lisa smile. To compound the trifecta, the victim appears to have a past he's been trying to outrun. Uncovering his secret-filled life leads Darcy and some new friends on a high-voltage journey, intersecting with a former adversary.

When shadows of this old enemy surface, Darcy realizes black and white are an absolute as sure as the sun's rotation. One wrong move could keep her from the academy, and one screw up could mean a friend of hers breathes his last breath. 

In Side Hustle, solving crime takes a backseat to the moral dilemma she's placed in: protect her dream or keep a friend alive. 

Readers call the Darcy Walker Series Veronica Mars meets Stephanie Plum meets Veronica Mars meets Pretty Little Liars!

Note from the author: previously released in a serial format, but this novel contains all episodes.

About the Author

A. J. Lape is the author of the Darcy Walker Series, Detective Ruby Rivera Novellas, and the 15 Saddles Motorcycle Club Novellas. More recently, Darcy Walker has aged and is now found in the women's sleuth categories. Lape lives in Cincinnati with her husband, two daughters, an ADD dog, a spoiled hamster, and an unapologetic and unrepentant addiction to Coca-Cola--plus a lifelong love affair with PB&J and bacon she has no plans to sever. A graduate of Morehead State University with an MA in Communications, she's a PI wannabe but daily stops crime and kills bad people on her keyboard. If the FBI ever checks her computer, she'll be wearing prison-orange due to the graphic and disgusting "wiki" articles she looks up...all in the name of career research, insomnia, and straight up boredom.
