The Jury Has Spoken, And the Verdict is in: James D. Bell’s The Vampire Defense is so “Bloody Good” You Can Taste it – 4.7 Stars on 31 Reviews And Now $2.99 on Kindle

Vampire Defense

by James D. Bell

4.7 stars – 31 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

John Brooks is a brilliant young lawyer working hard, but not getting much notice. Those who know him admire his work ethic and his intellect. His friends believe that he needs one big case to show off his talents. Defending Hal Boyd, known as the Butcher of Belhaven, on arson and four murder charges, looks like that big case as the world media, hungry to fill 24 hours a day of non-stop news coverage, converges on Jackson, Mississippi.

Soon the Boyd case looks like a career ender when Brooks announces his defense: “Not guilty by reason of insanity. My client was so insane that he believed that the person he intended to kill was a vampire.” The world media ridicules the “Vampire Defense,” and Brooks and his defense team become the laughing stock of the legal profession.

Ridicule becomes the least of Brooks’ problems when he discovers that a satanic cult is intent on exacting murderous revenge against Boyd and his defense team. Kidnapping and multiple murders occur at a dizzy pace as the action careens from the city to the swamp to the courtroom.

Romance coupled with comic relief allows you to occasionally catch your breath, until even that is stolen by a double climax with a verdict that shocks the world, followed immediately by a dramatic final battle between good and evil.

The Vampire Defense is so “bloody good” you can taste it.

5-Star Amazon Reviews

“Loved the great variety of characters, the suspense , multiple story lines that all came together with sweet romance! Great read and I can’t wait to see these characters again in another exciting adventure!!”

“Vampire Defense was a suspenseful and exciting book! It was definitely a “PageTurner”—just couldn’t wait to finish. The multiple story lines and characters kept my interest . James Bell’s style is similar to James Patterson. I am looking forward to more books by him!”

One Reviewer Notes:
As a native Mississippian, I have experienced such colorful folks and stories, which form the fabric of the southern culture. I also know that the openness of the legal team to embrace such quirkiness is a testament to the renowned southern hospitality and open human spirit. This spirit is infused throughout the novel, which dances between reality and surrealism in a very believable Mississippi way. In a culture where people still talk to one another, pass the time together, stories do grow, sometimes bigger than life. In line with the best of southern novelists, Mr. Bell captures this transformative southernism, which borders on the insane, and uses it to defend his client, while he also defends the sanity of Mississippi itself. The legal defense of the client, who by his own telling, "murdered a vampire", gives some interesting details on legal proceedings and is the rational thread that holds the story together and makes it believable. It was a very good reading and I look forward to the next novel to come from Mr. Bell.
