Description

This atmospheric Alaskan mystery for fans of Paul Doiron, Jane Harper, and C.J. Box builds to a breakneck pace against the forbidding, majestic wilderness of America’s final frontier, as Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter searches for a stone-cold killer in western Alaska’s most remote Native village…

"Cameron’s novels hook you from the first line, cement your eyes to the page, and grip your heart in a vice. I can’t think of another writer whose work I admire more." —WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER

"A double-barreled blast of action, narrative, and impossible-to-fake authenticity.” —CJ BOX


Winter comes early to the rural native community of Stone Cross, Alaska—and so does hunting season. Caribou and moose are a major source of food through the long, dark months ahead. But Arliss Cutter has come here for a very different game. A federal judge is receiving death threats and refuses protection. Cutter and his deputy Lola Teariki have been assigned to shadow him on his trip to this icy outland to make sure that he’s safe. But they quickly discover that no one is ever really safe in a place like this. And no one is above suspicion . . .

When Cutter and Lola arrive, the village is already gripped with fear. A young couple has disappeared from their fishing lodge, just eight miles upriver. Their handyman has been found dead, next to a crude drawing of a mysterious symbol. To make matters worse, a dense fog has descended on the region, isolating the town from civilization. With the judge’s life still at risk, and two people still missing, Cutter and Lola have their work cut out for them. But navigating the small-town customs and blood-bound traditions of this close-knit community won’t be easy. When the secrets come out, the deadly hunt is on . . .

“Looking for authentic action, suspense, drama, and mystery? Look no further than U.S. Marshals Service veteran Marc Cameron whose thrillers capture the visceral nature of life in the trenches as only one who has lived it truly can.”—JACK CARR

“Cameron’s books are riveting page-turners.” —MARK GREANEY

    Poor copy editing is frequently apparent in Cameron’s work and reduces its appeal.

    4 Stars. The first in the series was good but not Jericho Quinn good. This one definitely was. I’m happy because I really enjoy Cameron. This one really took off. The characters, story, everything. I even got teary eyed at the end. Now I’m truly excited about this Arliss Cutter series. You could actually feel the cold of an Alaskan blizzard. Definitely looking forward to the next one, and it won’t take nearly as long to get to it.

    Great continuation from the 1st book, all occurring in the wilds of Alaska bush country. Quite a sad ending but very appropriate for the story and the characters.
  • Fine action, characters, excess detail. Moving.

    Very well written, fast-moving action scenes. Believable “different” characters - both women and men. Sometimes too many details stall forward movement of the story line. In the end, moving.

    Spent a year at a radar site in Akaka’s interior in the early 70s. Descriptions had me reliving those days.
  • Just ok

    I didn’t love this story quite as much as the last. In places I felt like it dragged a bit and I wish the villains side was more fleshed out
