Owen Prescott is accused of murdering his professor. The professor that is suing Owen for stealing credit from him for Owen's book. His dad, not wanting to have a bad reputation on the family, tells Owen to go out of country and stay hidden, so Owen does. Owen thinks everything is going good, he even has a girlfriend. Then, truths start to come to the surface. Each truth becomes crazier than another. Is Owen truly innocent, or did he murder his professor? Find out in "A Long Time Dead".
This installment of the Joe Turner series follows Joe's friend, Owen, instead of Joe himself. The feelings and actions were realistic. 
I really liked the changed view point. I loved the twists and turns. It made me never want to put the book down. If you like legal thrillers, don't miss out on the Joe Turner series.
