Author: Marc Cameron
Published: February 26th 2019 by Kensington Publishing Corporation
Format: Hardcover, 320 pages
Genre: Police Procedural
Series: Arliss Cutter #1
Add a little Walt Longmire, a touch of Jonathan Stride, and a pinch of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and you have Arliss Cutter, the unforgettable protagonist in Marc Cameron’s newest series.
Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter (a bit like Jonathan Stride) learned his skills, which are all numbered (a la Jethro Gibbs), from his grandfather and brings them to every assignment. This time he is headed to Alaska, with new partner Deputy Lola Fontaine, to bring back Hayden Starne a predator and kidnapper.
When a local is reported missing, everyone assumes Hayden is responsible since they were known to have worked on a local television production (think Real Housewives Alaska-style), yet things are not what they appear when a Mexican cartel boss shows up seeking revenge on the show’s producer.
This book is not for the faint of heart. I have a strong stomach and yet even I got a bit queasy. There is extreme brutality yet Arliss has a way of adding humor (this is where the Longmire reference comes in) and with a little romance from an unexpected place, yet a character which I hope returns, you end up seeing Arliss for the sensitive soul he can be.
