Dani Deucer is a precocious twelve-year-old girl who wants to be a detective. She and her sister Stephanie are spending the summer in Three Rivers, California when Dani meets hobo Mott Simon. At first Dani is afraid of Mott because he’s different – he spends most of his time digging up the town’s flowerbeds! But when Mott is accused of murder Dani sets out to prove that sometimes first impressions can be wrong.

Like Harper Lee’s classic To Kill A Mockingbird, A Matter of Justice is a young girl’s exploration of what it means to be different.  It’s also an exciting mystery that will keep readers guessing to the last page.

"Steve Alcorn is one of those writers who deserves success ... His books for young readers have a nice flair ... I was favorably impressed ... She thinks and acts just like a girl ... It was a surprise, though the hints were there."
– Piers Anthony, New York Times Best Selling Author

"Steve Alcorn cares and it shows as his teen girl detective, Dani Deucer, explores some of the same questions facing his own daughter, Dani. This is a good read for kids and adults alike."
– Doran William Cannon, Hollywood Screenwriter
