Blood Perfect (A Joe Turner Mystery)

A criminal defense lawyer. A nearly unbeatable eyewitness case. A trial that dredges up the one crime he’s never escaped. Joe Turner has built a career defending the accused in Oakland’s criminal courts, but his latest case may be impossible to win. Allston Walker has been charged with the savage attempted murder of Jefferson Devaney, a racist hotel caretaker who swears Walker is the man who stabbed him. The case looks airtight: a named identification, a brutal crime scene, and a sympathetic victim the jury is bound to trust. Still, Joe takes the case. As he and his offbeat investigator dig into the evidence, Joe finds himself battling slippery police work, a smug prosecutor, and a trial that refuses to go where it should. At the same time, the violence of the case awakens buried memories of the unsolved murder that shattered Joe’s own childhood—forcing him to confront a past he has spent years outrunning. Then the twists begin. Sharp, funny, and deeply authentic, Blood Perfect is a gripping courtroom thriller about misidentification, trauma, obsession, and the dangerous gap between truth and what a jury is prepared to believe. "5/5 Stars. A fantastic read for fans of courtroom drama, light detective work, and endings with a twist...that will keep you interested from cover to cover." —San Francisco Book Reviews
