Darcy Walker’s side hustle takes a dangerous turn that could get her blackballed from the academy before she even begins.

Clyde Sargent is rude. Egotistical. And a bad tipper. Delivering a pizza should be an in-and-out job. Until he drops a bombshell he might've committed murder.

Now in the police academy, Darcy's conscience reminds her it's not her job to solve the mystery. Struggling to color between the lines, the Universe keeps throwing hard balls, and she can’t continue to ignore clues. A dead body appears. A hit is placed on her friends. And someone from the academy goes to the dark side.

With her dream finally within reach, will Darcy pump the brakes on her instincts and let others solve the cases? Or will she get kicked out of class before she even earns her badge?

Gut Check is the second installment of the action-packed Darcy Walker Crime Thrillers—where the jokes get sharper and the consequences get real. Perfect for readers who like flawed heroines, bad timing, and mysteries that punish you for doing the right thing.
