Description
A young Joe Turner returns to defend Allston Walker, a man charged with the bloody attempted murder of a racist caretaker in this gripping courtroom thriller. Images of the vicious crime have Joe flashing back to a life-altering crime he witnessed as a child while he hurdles headlong into a steamy romance.
In the tension-filled trial, the victim, a transplanted southerner, charms the jury and remains steadfast in his identification of Walker. Snarky Joe and his investigator, an aging hippie who speaks in movie lines, wrangle with slippery police officers and an obnoxious, preening prosecutor.
Plot twists continue past the stunning verdict and force Joe's reckoning with his haunting past.
Penned by a practicing criminal defense attorney, Blood Perfect is a uniquely authentic tale that probes the subconscious mind and depicts an unfiltered view of the modern criminal justice system.

T.L. Bequette is a criminal defense attorney-turned author from Lafayette, California. His debut novel, "Good Lookin'", the first of the Joe Turner series, was hailed by Kirkus Reviews as "a rigorous, thoroughly engrossing mystery from a writer with immense potential." As an attorney, Mr. Bequette has tried more than thirty murder trials, mostly defending young men in Oakland. He holds degrees from The University of the Pacific and Georgetown Law School and serves annually on faculty of the Stanford Law School Trial Advocacy Clinic. The third in the series of Joe Turner Mysteries is in the works.
