Arliss Cutter #2
Stone Cross
In a remote Alaskan village, Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter searches for a stone-cold killer amid a hotbed of corruption, lies, and long-buried secrets . . .
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 . . .

First and foremost, a large thank you to NetGalley, Marc Cameron and Kensington Books for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.
A great fan of Marc Cameron’s work, I was pleased to read this second novel in the Arliss Cutter series. Set in Alaska, Cameron takes the reader on quite the adventure and uses the setting as an integral part of the thriller. Stationed in Anchorage, Arliss Cutter is a key member of the US Marshal’s Fugitive Apprehension Team, while also trying to care for his widowed sister-in-law and her family. When he is asked to help with security for a federal judge, Cutter is not entirely sure he is well-suited for the job. It would seem that this judge has a hearing in a remote community, but threats have arisen that might cause his time there to be less than peaceful. Even with the judge dismissing the needed for security, Cutter takes his job seriously and agrees to help. When they arrive in the community of Stone Cross, Cutter realises just how remote things are for a city dweller like himself. A predominantly Inuit community, Cutter sees the poverty that pervades the town, but also the tight-knit nature of those who share the area. While trying his best to provide security, Cutter and his team become aware of a missing couple and a few murders that have stirred up trouble. Working both protection and some investigation as best he can, Cutter learns that crime of a serious nature is rampant. With a killer lurking in the dark and cold, Cutter must determine what he can do, or whether the local lore of a ‘Hairy Man’ might hold some truth after all. A great piece by Cameron that takes the reader well out of their comfort zone and to a locale about which few with have experience. Recommended to those readers who enjoy a thriller that uses unique settings, as well as those who love the world of Marc Cameron.
While I became addicted to Marc Cameron’s other series, this one surely has grown on me after two books. Taking the action to rural Alaska had me hooked from the early going and I am looking forward to learning more with additional books. Arliss Cutter is back as a strong protagonist, working as best he can in the somewhat isolation of Alaska, far away from his native Florida. As well as being a stellar US Marshal, Cutter has a military past that he chooses to lock away, much like his idol, a grandfather whose work ethic drives him to be the best he can. Compassionate but slow to show it, Cutter finds ways to keep himself involved in both work and family life, without becoming too ensconced in either. His drive and ability to cut through the erroneous makes for a highly intriguing character that many will enjoy. Others, both returnees and new faces, help to support this book, which surely offers much for the open-minded reader. There is a strong sense of community found in some of the Stone Cross locals, which helps support the plot and ever-advancing narrative throughout. The story was strong and while not entirely unique, the setting makes it a story that will stand out for many. Poverty in remote communities is one thing, but with crime and limited resources, the reader is forced to see how things can be done on a shoe-string budget. Cameron conveys this effectively, while also pulling the reader in for more throughout this impactful piece. I learned a great deal throughout and hope Cameron will work at building this series, which has begun to rival his other work in its intensity.
Kudos, Mr. Cameron, for another winner. I cannot wait to see what else you come up with soon!

Stone Cross is the second book in The Deputy Marshal Arliss Cutter series by Marc Cameron.
It can be read as a stand-alone, the author providing us with all necessary information about the main characters.
A silver cross decorated army veteran, originally based in Florida, Arliss Cutter has settled in Alaska to look after his brother’s widow and family. Cutter and his deputy, Lola Teariki, of Maoi origin, are tasked to escort a judge for an arbitration in Stone Cross, a small town in the Alaska bush, home to a native community of a few hundred inhabitants. Kind of a burden at first, this Judge will prove to be a much more compelling character as the story moves forward.
Several plot points are put into motion before the Marshalls even arrive in Stone Cross. The main one being the abduction of a couple overseeing a remote lodge for the winter, and the murder of the lodge’s handyman. It doesn’t fall under the Marshalls’ purview (and neither do the other happenings in Stone Cross), but circumstances won’t leave them any other choice than to get involved.
Stone Cross is home to a sheer number of interesting characters, on which the author gives enough background to get us to care about the goings in their lives. The number of characters is so overwhelming that Marc Cameron put a cast summary at the beginning of the book. It proved to be unnecessary, as the characters are so well introduced and fleshed out that I never had to go back to it for reference.
All the crimes and mysteries moving the story forward are interesting in themselves but, the strength of this book lies elsewhere. Marc Cameron is a retired US Marshall. In 1998, he moved to Alaska to serve as deputy in charge of the multi-agency Alaska Fugitive Task Force, as well as a member of the Tactical Tracking Unit, before spending the last six years of his career as Chief Deputy for Alaska (according to a 2016 interview given to wickedauthors.com).
As such, he knows what he’s writing about. He gifts us with an incredible account of what life is in the remote Alaska bush. And, it’s a whole other world. A world in which our taken for granted commodities are sparse, communication, infrastructure and transportation are unreliable. A world in which everything we’re used to buy without a second thought is expensive, and workers are given subsistence days to go hunting for food. A place where one can remain pinned by cold storms, cut from any help or medical services, hopefully used to fend for oneself.
The isolated Alaska bush is known for a high number of crimes and misdemeanors, and Marc Cameron doesn’t try to hide this fact. But, he makes a point to show us that it’s also mainly home to good people, and pretty strong characters, with a high sense of community.
This depiction of rural Alaska is the most fascinating part of this novel. Marc Cameron immerses his story in an authentic setting, fueled by his years of experience in the field, his knowledge of the area, of its inhabitants, and its folklore. I don’t think I’ve ever read a novel teaching me so many things, and I don’t think I would have gotten much more from a documentary.
it sure wouldn’t have been as thrilling, as the mystery isn’t to be overlooked. It evolves at a good pace in this rich environment, a sense of urgency slowly climbing as we witness the evolving predicament of the victims, before picking up in parallel thrilling final acts neatly resolving all the plot points.
This is a book not to be missed by those liking their thrillers with authenticity and substance.
Thanks to Netgalley and Kensington books for the ARC granted in exchange for this unbiased review.
Don’t miss the yummy bonus at the very end of the book.

Adventure Thriller
Book 2: Arliss Cutter series
Alaskan Author
A spectacular sequel!
😍 𝕀’𝕞 𝕙𝕠𝕠𝕜𝕖𝕕! 𝕀 𝕗𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕 𝕒𝕟 𝕒𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕣 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕤𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 𝕀 𝕒𝕓𝕤𝕠𝕝𝕦𝕥𝕖𝕝𝕪 𝕃𝕆𝕍𝔼!
It was described as an “intricate and multilayered sequel,” and I’d agree. I loved the multiple POVs and the variety of subplots. Cameron has won me over with his strong sense of place and his writing style. There’s always an ominous threat closing in and the Alaskan bush seems to herald it closer! Interestingly enough, I usually dislike a large cast of characters, but Cameron has a wonderful way of including them in his story as if you are meeting some of your neighbours. I’m really enjoying reading about this community in Alaska.
In the prologue we meet a couple, Sarah and David, who are going to be kidnapping victims as the story opens. I liked getting their back story prior to the involvement of the Alaska Fugitive Task Force. The couple had agreed to a winter season of managing a remote lodge in the Alaskan bush. Had they known what it would cost them, they’d have reconsidered.
When the story opens, we see Supervisory deputy U.S. Marshall Arliss Cutter and his partner, Lola Teariki, getting a routine assignment to arrest a guy on a minor crime in the village of Stone Cross. What the reader doesn’t immediately know is that they are on protection detail. It doesn’t take long before the assignment morphs into a murder investigation, a kidnapping investigation and then a variety of subplots take center stage for a while. I think the one that held my interest the most was the one uncovering the local school principal’s past and that of two of the teachers in a remote area. Bobby and Aften were school teachers from Chicago now teaching in a Yup’ik village school. At one time I fancied teaching in a remote location and looked into Alaska and northern Quebec, so this subplot caught my attention quickly.
I loved the message about seeing the big picture. A teacher in a remote school is explaining statistics and averages to her students and reminding them that looking at all the date is imperative. If they pick and choose what data to look at, they’ll be deceived. Her question caught my attention and I learned something!
“𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙤𝙪. 𝙊𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥, 𝙛𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙬𝙨. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙣𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥 𝙞𝙨 ….”
A knowledge of caribou biology would give you a different answer than if you were only focussing on math. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳! 😜
I loved Lola’s term for a mixture of snow and rain - Snain. I’m stealing it and making it mine!
I can’t wait for book 3!

Very good book! This is the second in the Arliss Cutter series, but my first from author Marc Cameron. It gripped me right from the beginning. After that, about the first quarter of the book delves into the lives of all characters involved and I felt like it may have bogged down a little bit. However, it picks right up and I was hooked. I also realized that everything you learn for background on the characters plays a part in what happens and why. The reader is treated to a descriptive trip into the Alaskan Bush and the elements that go along with that. I recently read the first in the Cork O’Conner series by William Kent Krueger titled Iron Lake and this book reminded of that a bit. Both are murder mysteries interlaced with family drama and the weather also plays a key role. Both books also deal with the cultural differences between the local native citizens and white folks. I would have to say this book takes the edge in adventure, though. I think you’ll be sitting on the edge of your seat. I can highly recommend it!

In a remote Alaskan village, Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter searches for a stone-cold killer amid a hotbed of corruption, lies, and long-buried secrets . . .
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
Because in Alaska, nothing runs colder than blood.
I have read some Marc Cameron's Jericho Quinn which I do prefer, I like the character Arliss Cutter and Lola, but I personally found this book filled with too many characters, often too heavy and too slow and struggled with the story.
Apologies to the author, just nor for me, just okay.. Three stars

In Alaska, Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshall Arliss Cutter's latest assignment is the protection of a federal judge in Stone Cross. As a second story line, when Arliss and partner Lola get to the village, husband and wife caretakers of Chaga Lodge are missing and their handyman is found dead. Although this is not Arliss's case, he's never been able to turn his back on murder.
Somehow I missed out on this second book in the series which came out in 2020 but I've rectified that now. Arliss is still spouting his grandfather Grumpy's rules and still desiring his brother's widow. Since he's already been married four times, he may need to think again.
There's a cast of characters at the beginning of the book which was very helpful. Lots of characters in the story and I would have been slowed down considerably without this. I love books with lots of ice and snow so this was my type of setting. The story contains lots of action with chase scenes, fights, etc, as is typical of this series.
The ending was very sad involving a canine but told in a beautiful way. As a dog lover, I cried.

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.

*4.5 stars rounded up. Marc Cameron ratchets up the tension in this second outing in his series set in Alaska, featuring Deputy US Marshall Arliss Cutter and his partner Lola.
A woman is chopping firewood at a remote lodge near Stone Cross when she hears an eerie screech just across the river. It keeps repeating and seems to be coming closer in the dusk. Stories of 'the Hairy Man' flit through her mind. She makes it back to the lodge where she and her husband are living but doesn't feel much safer when the generator fails and they have to go out in the dark to see what's going on...
Back in Anchorage, Arliss and Lola learn they have been assigned to guard a judge who is traveling to Stone Cross to adjudicate a case. He has received a threatening letter from someone in the village and it has to be taken seriously. The weather is worsening as they are flown in but they all reach the village safely and are put up in the village school. One of the teacher's is worried when she cannot reach her friend at the lodge and someone is sent to investigate. When a body is discovered, Arliss gets drawn into the investigation.
Great characterizations and descriptions of the harsh climate and remote village life sets this thriller apart. Very tense and atmospheric with lots of action. Recommend this series to thriller lovers.

I’m hooked! I fall for the wild and rural Alaska that makes the plot more interesting. My favorite character is Lola, Arliss’s partner, she’s one of a kind and always brighten the story.

This book is an exciting addition to the Arliss Cutter series by author Marc Cameron.
I really like that the key women in this story are strong and self-reliant. “Bad-a**.” as one of the characters termed it. The book is extremely well written and thought out in Mr. Cameron's usual competent style. I like Cutter very much and his interaction with his sister-in-law Mim and her children added a great deal to the book. In fact, we learn a great deal about all of the major characters' backgrounds in this volume. I really appreciate learning all this information about the people in the book for it makes me relate to them better and it makes them more real.
I like that Mr. Cameron describes the local beliefs and everyday life in the Alaskan bush. From weather to food to seemingly entrenched attitudes towards women, it is rich and colorful in description.
Cutter has transferred to Anchorage, Alaska to be closer to his widowed sister-in-law and her children. He and his partner, Lola are assigned to escort and protect a judge to a remote village to arbitrate a local case. The judge is a cantankerous person and would rather the Marshalls didn't shadow him.
While they are there, a murder occurs and a husband and wife go missing. Torn between watching the judge and chasing the kidnappers, Cutter is in a dilemma. He hates standing around. Fortunately, the judge is not as unobservant as one might think.
Full of action and tense scenes, along with a little wry humor (go, go Cutter!), this book is a sure winner. I really like Marc Cameron's writing and will continue to read him as long as he chooses to write these great stories.
I want to thank NetGalley and Kensington Books/Kensington for forwarding to me a copy of this absolutely wonderful book for me to read, enjoy and review.

So glad I discovered this series but there is one BIG complaint that I will get to... and anyone else that reads the book and it also bothers can consider that you have been warned. On the plus side....Cameron does his usual great job of taking the reader to unusual locales and making them feel like they were there. Not only does he do this with beautiful descriptions of the terrain but also by providing a deep look into the culture of the area and the people. Most of these characters are damaged in some respect making them not for the faint of heart, I believe the author is trying to say that the world isn’t all rainbows, sunshine, and clear-cut answers. This wonderful author who certainly would have received a 4.5 or 5 stars rating...went and make the biggest mistake that any writer can make. With that said I will now get to why the book received a 2.5-star rating and my warning. Before the book is even half finished...he injures the K-9 dog...you just know from it’s injuries that it is not going to survive... but it takes almost the entire book for the poor dog to die. The thing that he did that was touching but didn't make up in any way for the dead dog...he gave him a hero's send off. The loyal K- 9...Zeus...got a fitting funeral complete with a “Last Call” that I will defy anyone to read with a dry eye and without a box of tissues. Authors can kill anyone they wish in their books but DON’T KILL THE DOG!.

This second book about US marshal Arliss Cutter is much better than the first one. I am glad I didn't give up this series and got the oportunity thanks to Netgalley and Kensington to read the second adventure set in Alaska. Great story and well written as usual by Marc Cameron. I eagerly will wait for the third one.

Extremely enjoyable frozen thrill ride. Characters are fantastic. Well written enjoyable action, suspense, bit of drama in a book you want to finish fast and want to last longer.

Well developed story and characters. I am now four books into the series, and each is immensely satisfying.

Fans of Jack Reacher TAKE NOTE! There’s a new marshal in town and his name is Arliss Cutter!
STONE CROSS is a follow up novel to Marc Cameron’s OPEN CARRY. Cutter and his partner, Maori badass and Cutter’s Jiminy Cricket Lola Teariki are assigned a protective detail for a Federal Judge headed to the bush country for an arbitration hearing. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone, the U.S. Marshals will be looking to bag a low level criminal sought in connection with peeing in a national park.
Sounds routine. Nothing is routine around Arliss Cutter. This character is layered nicely with love lost and traumatic past war events. Cutter’s moral compass is pointed directly at standing up for those who can’t stand up for themselves. Guided in life by his grandfather’s pearls of wisdom known as Grumpy’s Man Rules, Cutter is a super hero whose power lies in the phrase “protect and serve.”
One of the best books I have read lately. It is early in this series, run out right now and snag a copy!

US Marshall Arliss Cutter is sent to a remote Alaskan village to protect a Federal judge from death threats he has received.
When Arliss and his deputy, Lola arrive at Stone Cross they walk right into a murder case.
The young couple taking care of the fishing lodge 8 miles away have disappeared and are suspected to have been kidnapped. The lodge handyman is found dead.
Meanwhile fog and storms have moved in making travel impossible. NO help is coming and Arliss and his deputy are on their own.
Crazy chase scenes in the brutal Alaskan outdoors during horrible weather.
A cast of characters out of the wild west. And a badass couple of Marshalls.
Part crime novel part action and an authentic backdrop from a write that knows his subject.

Absolutely loving this series! Arliss Cutter is a first rate main character and his partner Lola is as well. This installment takes place in a very remote rural village in Northern Alaska and I'm always a sucker for a book that takes place in the wild and does a great job of making me feel like I'm there as well, and this series hits the mark.
Having already read Book #3 (an advanced copy that introduced me to this series) I am now stuck waiting for #4. But apparently Marc Cameron is no rookie in this game and I can follow up with some of his many other books in the meantime.

Much improved writing over the first book, though a bit wordy at times. Still not a huge fan of the multiple POVs, and somewhat disappointed by the lack of mystery—this one was all explained as it unfolded, including victim and assailant POVs. The epilogue was a well-deserved tear jerker. I���ll continue this series.

Another kickass of a book from the very talented Marc Cameron!
Very good characterization and a good storyline that keeps you entertained from the beginning to the end. I loved the action. This story will definitely make a brilliant movie!
Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Just as I thought, book 2 is slightly better than Open Carry.
The characters are becoming more developed so the reader begins to relate with them.
I continue to expect bigger and better from this author and this series.

March 20, 2020I really enjoyed this 2nd Arliss Cutter book. The first one was good too, but I feel like I'm getting to know and understand Arliss a little better and that makes me enjoy the books even more.
In Stone Cross, Arliss is tasked with providing protection for a judge who is visiting a remote village. A murder occurs, and Arliss and his partner are soon drawn into the investigation.
This one has plenty of interesting and colorful characters, as well as an intriguing storyline.

Stone Cross by Marc Cameron
Arlliss Cutter Series #2
Arliss Cutter is intelligent, intriguing, and a bit of an enigma. Reading book one of this series I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to finish a book by this author that was filled with murder, mystery and mayhem AND the same is true for reading the second book because it was 4am before I read the last page and finally headed to bed.
As I read I grew to know more about Alaska and Arliss and I fell in love with Grumpy – the grandfather who raised Arliss. The main case was brutal and so was the encroaching Alaska winter. This could have been just the story of solving a murder and finding people that disappeared but it was so much more.
What I liked:
* Arliss: for reasons mentioned above and also because he is a man I admire and would like to know better. I want him to have a happy future and hope that some of his dreams will come true as the series continues.
* The information learned about a bit of Arliss’s past
* The character guide at the beginning of the book
* Birdie: a Yu’pik woman who suffered greatly and achieved much – I truly admired her.
* Lola: Arliss’s partner – a strong tough woman with a heart of gold
* Sarah: her strength and courage were amazing
* The weaving in of the side stories that enhanced the overall story
* Mim: Arliss’s widowed sister-in-law and her concern fo her children and also for Arliss’s well being
* Arliss’s relationship with his brother’s family
* What I learned about living in remote Alaska, mushing dogs, and how the weather impacts living there.
* Reading about and then googling poke-hand and thread tattooing then cringing when I found out what it was and how there is a resurgence in the art form. I also learned a bit, after googling again, about cut and chisel tattooing used by the Maoris.
* There are so many other things to mention but I really and truly liked it all except for…
What I did not like:
* The bad guys...they were ruthless, evil, despicable no good rotten...just horrible
* Having to wait till the next book is written so I can find out what happens next.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

If you ever want to know what it’s like to conduct a manhunt/murder investigation during a nasty snowstorm, this is the book for you. Not only does it delay the start of the investigation it causes all sorts of issues in tracking the bad guys, but also puts Cutter and his guide in danger several times. It was an interesting spin on the normal manhunt.
I also like that the series never shies away from making some of the bad guys just really bad. Too many times authors try to make you empathize with the antagonist, humanize them so they seem more real. To me, that’s all well and good, but sometimes you just need to show a lack of remorse or a certain glee in this misery of others to really sell that you’re dealing with someone who deserves to be stopped, arrested, or killed.
All in all, this was a nice read, full of straight ahead justice and some scary moments. If you like a book where the good guys are easy to tell from the bad, and where nature just wrecks everything civilized and safe for hero and villain alike, this is the book for you.

Hallelujah, Deputy U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter doesn't lose his grandpa's Colt Python revolver and hope by me mentioning that I don't ruin Stone Cross.
Nothing better than, a modern day Western, set in Alaska 'the Last Frontier', with U.S. Deputy Marshal's, and set in the Indian Village of Stone Cross.
Artliss Cutter is larger than life, he's badass tough, had a tough life, molded by his Grampa Grumpy, ends up in Alaska due to the death of his brother and the author puts you right in the pages with him.
Deputy Lola Teariki is Cutter's partner, she's as tough as him, you do have chemistry between the two, she's continuously learning from him, and like the humor she as to the story.
With Stone Cross, as usually the author has a knack creating support characters that breathes life into the storyline, easy to relate to, and educational with this one.

Reminds me of NCIS Leroy Gibbs!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Arliss Cutter reminds me so much of TV’s NCIS Leroy Jethro Gibbs. But Cutter is a lot more physical! This is the second in the series and I AM SO GLAD I FOUND IT !! Cutter is a U.S. Marshal who is sent with his partner to a remote Intuit village on the Bearing Sea to provide a protection detail for a federal judge when they fall into a murder and kidnapping. And to top it off, the village is hit with a Blizzard. ⭐️⭐️ ON TO BOOK THREE ⭐️⭐️

I received an advance copy of Stone Cross.
It was a well written and exciting book. The detail about Alaska bush and what they go through
to police such an unbelievable state. The writing was excellent and provided a wealth of information.
I have read both of Arliss Cutter's stories and look forward to the next book.

Arliss Cutter is everyman’s Leroy Jethro Gibbs of Alaska. Raised by a man who has the same numbered rules Gibbs bestows on his underlings, Arliss bestows this knowledge on his nephews, and sister-in-law, as he helps her to raise the children of his late brother.
Arliss and partner Lola Teariki, both members of the Alaska Fugitive Task Force, are assigned as bodyguards to a federal judge who must hear testimony in a remote Alaskan village. Before their arrival, a couple and their handyman have been murdered and with Arliss, there is never just one job that needs to be done. They now must split their time, and resources, between capturing a killer and keeping a judge from harm's way. With the judge ready to encounter a hostile crowd and an additional threat amongst the throng, Arliss and Lola need to tread lightly before they spook the wrong adversary and allow a killer to get away with murder.
The reader is pulled back and forth between multiple narratives, multiple characters, and multiple outcomes. Yet Marc Cameron does a stellar job in giving each their voice and their place within the story.
