About the Author
Mark Beckner is known in Colorado from his time with the Boulder Police Department from 1978 to 2014. He rose through the ranks to become Boulder's Police Chief in 1998 and remained in that position until his retirement in 2014. Chief Beckner took the reins of a department in turmoil and suffering from widespread criticism in the wake of the 1996 JonBenet Ramsey murder. Given the propensity of unusual happenings in Boulder, the Department and Chief Beckner often found themselves in the news.
However, it wasn't until he took over command of the JonBenet Ramsey investigation in late 1997 that he became known across the country by those interested in the bizarre nature of JonBenet's death. While the case has never been solved, Chief Beckner was able instrumental in bringing order to the investigation and played a role in getting the case to a grand jury. Most of the local media respected Chief Beckner for his honesty and straightforward approach.
Mark Beckner still lives in Colorado and uses his law enforcement experience and writing skills to create thrilling, dramatic, and suspenseful murder mysteries.
His first book, Behind The Lies, has received highly positive reviews. It comprises three crime dramas involving murder, mystery, action and suspense. His second book is scheduled to be out in late September, 2021.
