T.L. Bequette is a criminal defense attorney-turned writer from Oakland, California. Most of his law practice involves defending those accused of homicide, so he has a trove of mysteries and courtroom drama waiting to be written. He holds degrees from The University of the Pacific and Georgetown Law School and helps coach the UC Berkeley Law Mock Trial Team. Bequette's Joe Turner Mystery Series has won a Chanticleer Internation Book Award and an Independent Press Award for Mysteries. Kirkus Reviews dubbed his debut novel, Good Lookin' "a rigorous, thoroughly engrossing mystery from a writer with immense potential."

“'Compelling characters fuel this briskly paced legal thriller...with a doozy of an ending.'”
