First Page Look:
"Why are you doing this to me?" screamed Della. "I'm freezing and hungry!"
"I want to know how much you can take," replied the man wearing a white hood while looking through the metal grate above.
"I hate you! Get me out of here!" Della shouted as she looked up through the black metal grate that imprisoned her in the eight-by-10-foot wood-lined walled enclosure. She estimated the walls to be about eight feet tall. They were made of thick wooden timbers designed to prevent escape and limit her screams from being heard outside the chamber. Her only sight from the chamber was through the two-by-three-foot opening at the top, covered by the black grate. In her estimate, the bars on the grate were approximately three inches apart. Della could not tell which way was north, south, east, or west. One sixty-watt light bulb hung through the grate, providing her with light whenever her captor turned it on. In the middle of the concrete floor was a five-inch round drain.
The only furniture provided was a small metal cot with a thin mattress along one wall and a thick wooden chair sitting in a corner. The chair had wide wooden arms on each side with buckled leather straps attached, often used to buckle her to the chair for what he called "experiments." Similar ankle straps were attached to the front legs of the chair. In the middle of the opposite wall, across from the bed, was a two-foot-wide solid metal door. In one upper corner was a small camera pointing into the room toward the chair. A metal bucket sat in the opposite corner and served as Della's toilet. While toilet paper was provided, there was nothing with which to wash her hands. The bucket was only emptied every four to five days. The smell reminded Della of the old wooden outhouses used in state parks when camping with her parents as a little girl.

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.
