Series: Arliss Cutter #2
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.
