Book 2 in the Victoria Justice Mystery Series

JUNE 24, 2025

“A fun read with twists and turns you never see coming!”

~Pamela Samuels Young, award-winning author of The Law of Karma and Failure to Protect

“Deceptive Justice is a rousing romp of clues and quips even before the crime occurs.”

~Cheryl A. Head, author of the Charlie Mack Motown Mystery Series

When Victoria Justice discovers a coworker on the phone with a mad bomber, she doesn’t think twice about springing into action to diffuse the situation. After all, her work as a court reporter in the Bickerton Delaware Superior Courthouse places her at the heart of all types of crime. But moments later, a mysterious package is found in the building’s lobby, leading to an evacuation that has everyone pointing fingers…that is, until a car explodes in the parking lot killing a prominent government official. Authorities quickly search the area and determine a recently vindicated arsonist is to blame, but the arrest sparks an alternate theory for Victoria, who believes the real culprit is still at large with more targets on the horizon.

With no leads, except a manuscript of the initial bomb threat and a faint audio recording of the caller’s scrambled voice, Victoria recruits former State Trooper Ashton North and local newsman Mike Slocum to help her weather the firestorm of community outrage. But can the two men stop bickering long enough to protect Victoria and capture the killer?

Fans of Knives Out, Law & Order, and Murder, She Wrote will love this killer courtroom cozy with its unexpected twists and turns. Order the first book in the series today, and look for Deceptive Justice in paperback and ebook this summer everywhere books are sold.
