Death From Desire - Crime Thrillers

By Mark R. Beckner

This book is former Police Chief Mark Beckner's second release of a series of crime thrillers. His first book, Behind The Lies, contained three separate crime dramas. In this book, two short novels take the reader through two more fictional crime stories of mystery, drama, suspense, and action.

The first story, Deadly Desires, follows Miami detectives Rick Baez and Leah Mitchell as they try to unravel the mysterious deaths of two wealthy married men. The first one appears to be a suicide, while the second appears to be a health issue. However, there are some unanswered questions, and they discover a revelation that ties the two deaths together. How are the cases linked? Did the husbands commit suicide, or was it homicide? What secrets are the wives hiding? Follow along as the suspense builds to a dramatic conclusion.

In Amarillo Billy, officers and detectives of the Amarillo Police Department find themselves hunting a man wreaking havoc on the city. Burglaries, sex assaults, and murder. Who is this madman, and where did he come from? Why is the federal government interested in finding him and being so secretive? What do they know they aren't sharing with local police? Residents are frustrated and frightened over the mysterious man known only as Billy. The police are under pressure to find and arrest him. Will they be able to stop him? Find out as you follow the investigation into "Amarillo Billy".
