Series: Arliss cutter #5
First Sentence: Gladys Tomaganak’s husband, Pete, was the one who decided they should all go upriver to catch ducks—and she would never forgive him for it.
Blurb: Off the northeast coast of Russia, the captain and crew of a small crabbing vessel are brutally murdered by members of Bratva, the Russian mafia—their bodies stuffed into crab pots and thrown overboard. The killers scuttle the vessel off the coast of Alaska and slip ashore.
In Washington, DC, Supreme Court Justice Charlotte Morehouse prepares for a trip to Alaska, unaware that a killer is waiting to take his revenge—by livestreaming her death to the world.
In Anchorage, Alaska, Deputy US Marshals Arliss Cutter and Lola Teariki are assigned to security detail at a judicial conference in Fairbanks. Lola is tasked with guarding Justice Townsend’s teenaged daughter while Cutter provides counter-surveillance. It’s a simple, routine assignment—until the mother and daughter decide to explore the Alaskan wilderness on the famous Glacier Discovery train. Hiding onboard are the Chechen terrorists, who launch a surprise attack. While they seize control of the engine, Cutter manages to escape with Justice Townsend by jumping off the moving train—and into the unforgiving wilderness.
With no supplies and no connection to the outside world, Cutter and the judge must cross a treacherous terrain to stay alive. Two of the terrorists are close behind. The others are on the train with the judge’s daughter—and they plan to execute her on camera. With so many lives at stake, Cutter knows there are only two options left: catch the train and kill them all . . . or all will be killed. (GoodReads)
My Opinion: Marc Cameron's book takes readers on a journey through the Alaskan wilderness as the US Marshalls protect a Supreme Court Justice. The story is a blend of an outdoor catalog, travel brochure, and police procedural.
The book has two storylines, one featuring Arliss and Lola, and the other following Mim's search for her husband's killer. The latter unfolds slowly and will continue in subsequent books, while the lingering questions about Arliss and Mim remain unanswered but bring the characters closer together.
This series is highly recommended, as it appeals to both men and women and has sparked many conversations.
