Bequette, T. L.: - 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.
