Get Bk, inspired by an actual case, though deviating in significant ways, is the story of Max Bek, a 60s and 70s alternate lifestyle and intellectual celebrity in Philadelphia. He is smart, charismatic, and eerily attuned to the zeitgeist. He is popular on the University of Pennsylvania campus and sought after by the business local community for his connection to a demographic they wish to cultivate.

Get Bk, inspired by an actual case, though deviating in significant ways, is the story of Max Bek, a 60s and 70s alternate lifestyle and intellectual celebrity in Philadelphia. He is smart, charismatic, and eerily attuned to the zeitgeist. He is popular on the University of Pennsylvania campus and sought after by the business local community for his connection to a demographic they wish to cultivate. With so much going for him, who could guess he'd murder his girlfriend, Linda, and stuff her body into a steamer trunk left in his closet until it mummified? She was younger than Max, and also bright, a Bryn Mawr graduate, but her down-home Texas naivete left her vulnerable to the charming but poisonously insecure Max Bek. He is finally caught, but released on a low bail. He goes on the lam to Europe and becomes a cause celebre, resuming speaking engagements on esoteric subjects like parapsychology and "psychotronics", mind-control weaponry developed by dark forces in the American defense community. He escapes capture for years, but is finally tracked down by private detective Owen Bridger and Philadelphia Homicide Detective Michael Haywood. After a prolonged extradition contest, Max in brought back to the States t face justice for Linda.
