Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy: Code of Honor.
In the icy heart of Alaska, a series of gruesome murders leads Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter into a firestorm of searing corruption, clashing cultures, and bone-chilling fear...
In Juneau, a young archeologist is sent to protect the ancient burial sites uncovered by an Alaskan gold mining company. He never returns.
In Anchorage, a female torso – minus head, hands, and feet – is washed ashore near a jogging trail by the airport. It is not the first.
At Alaska’s Fugitive Task Force, Arliss Cutter and deputy Lola Teariki are pulled from their duties and sent to a federal court in Juneau to keep track of sequestered jurors in a high-profile drug trial.
When a prosecuting attorney is murdered – and a reporter viciously attacked – Cutter realizes they’re dealing with something darker. The truth lies deep within the ancient sites and precious mines of this isolated land – and inside the cold hearts of those who would kill to hide its secrets.
The new chilling instalment in Marc Cameron’s exceptional Arliss Cutter thriller series, perfect for fans of Lee Child, Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of bestseller Cameron's strong third crime novel featuring Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter (after 2020's Stone Cross), archaeologist Isaac Merculief, who's overseeing the construction of a road near Juneau, Alaska, calls a halt when the work exposes a skeleton and a bone rattle, a highly valuable artifact that may have belonged to a shaman. Merculief has orders to protect any unearthed human remains or burial sites. Others oppose Merculief's decision, and ensure that the archaeologist permanently disappears. Eventually, the circumstances of Merculief's disappearance come to Cutter's attention, but the lawman has a lot of other things on his plate, including the mystery of a woman's torso that washed ashore near Anchorage, the trial of two vicious drug traffickers, and the assassination of a federal official. Cameron draws on his own service as a deputy federal marshal in Alaska and his expertise in tracking down people, and he does a good job balancing the multiple plotlines as well as characterization and action. Owen Laukkanen fans will be pleased.
