Fifteen years ago, Darcy Walker's parents thought it was a good idea to giveher a unique name: Darcy, meaning "dark walker." Whether that was astroke of genius or stroke of stupid, they definitely nailed the irony.She lacks direction, her grades stink despite a high IQ, she's boringlyaverage--although flirting admirers claim otherwise--and God help her,she's infatuated with a bad boy.
A bad boy that her hottie best friend, Dylan, wishes would get acquainted with his fist.
With her life spiraling out of control, everything changes when she skipsclass and finds a dead body...in fact, it gets worse. It jump startsDarcy's inner-verb, and her brain hardwired for action gets caught up in a situation she can't let go.

When a fellow misfit is arrested for the crime, Darcy goes from zero-to-sixtytrying to clear his name--constructing aliases, breaking the law,everything that makes perfect sense to her but reeks of Grade A Stupidto everyone else.
Trouble is...will she live to see sixteen?
