THE DARLING OF QUEEN CITY

An Action-Adventure Novel

Back Cover Summary

If you absolutely have to get there, how long could you run?

​

Kinsley Cooper finished third at a high-school track meet. On impulse, she held back. Coach wasn’t happy. Her friend Abby helped cheer her up. But then she got the call, the one she didn’t want to answer. Without thought, it was time to run. It was only four miles away through commuter traffic. She could get there on foot faster than finding a taxi. Right?

​

But the world conspired to get in her way. An unyielding police officer. A stray dog trying to eat her. Junkies in need of a fix. Worst of all, a professional reporter! Drat!

​

She could deal with all those. Abby’s clumsiness wouldn’t even slow her down. But then she ran into the Hammerhead Gang. She witnessed a murder, and like a good Christian girl, she took a picture. Now they wanted to silence her. Worse, they wanted her phone.

​

Each impulsive act led her deeper into trouble. If only she could learn a little self-control. After all, she couldn’t be late. She absolutely, positively, indubitably had to be there. Will she make it? Find out. Read The Darling of Queen City today!
