From the gang-ravaged streets of inner-city Oakland to the rolling hills of Berkeley, California, attorney Joe Turner defends the most hardened criminals. Confronted with an unlikely murderer in a modern-day whodunnit, Turner's latest case seems impossible to unravel. At its heart is a decade-old murder and a tangled web of family, loyalty, and devotion that has the trial hanging in the balance. Viewed through the prism of the unique bond of twins, Good Lookin' asks how far each of us will go to protect the ones we love.
Excerpt
For a split
second I thought about running, but Dunigan filled the doorway as he picked up
the deputy with his handcuffed meat hooks and effortlessly tossed him into the
hallway. I’ll never forget the hollow clang of the metal door when he shut it,
locking us inside the tiny room.
I smashed a red alarm button on the wall
behind me just before Dunigan slid the heavy
metal table across the room as if it were
made of plastic, pinning me against the wall. The behemoth leaned on the table
and stared at me, eyes wild and grinning maniacally. He took a couple deep
breaths and forcefully blew the air and spittle out through his yellowed teeth.
He stood up straight, keeping me pinned
to the wall, leaning his girth against the table. I tried to push it away with
both hands, twisting frantically but it was useless against his weight and
strength. His grin widened and his breathing intensified—as did the production
of spit— as if aroused by my fear. Then he reached towards my head with his two
hands the size of catcher’s mitts, holding them there a few inches from my
head. I turned sideways and pressed my cheek against the wall, keeping sight of
his hands with one eye that pulsed with panic. He kept his hands there, close
to my face, reveling in the anticipation. I pictured his hands squeezing my
head, his thumbs entering my brain through my eye-sockets.
