About this listen

From a remote village perched on Arctic permafrost to the Badlands of South Dakota, searching for answers about his brother sets Arliss Cutter on an icy trail of murder and madness into the darkest heart of the Alaskan wilderness. New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. Marshal Marc Cameron captures the beauty and brutality of both man and nature in his newest high stakes suspense for fans of Paul Doiron, CJ Box, Allen Eskens, and Jane Harper.

"Cameron’s novels hook you from the first line, cement your eyes to the page, and grip your heart in a vice. I can’t think of another writer whose work I admire more." —WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER

"A double-barreled blast of action, narrative, and impossible-to-fake authenticity.” —CJ BOX
Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter uncovers a grisly clue to his brother’s death—and follows an icy trail of murder and madness into the darkest heart of the Alaskan wilderness …

In the Inupiaq village of Wainwright on the Arctic Ocean, two teenagers discover a frozen body in the permafrost wall of their family’s cellar. They recognize the face through the ice. It is the face of a young woman who went missing—two years ago . . .

In South Dakota, Arliss Cutter searches for answers surrounding his brother’s mysterious death. But his visit only raises more questions without any leads. Until he returns to Alaska—and learns that his brother had something in common with the frozen body in the ice cellar . . .

Inside the young woman’s pocket is a fossilized animal tooth—similar to the one Arliss’s brother picked up on a trip to South Dakota. A bizarre coincidence? Or are the two connected somehow? Before Arliss can figure it out, his brother’s widow and children become the targets of a brutal home invasion. Arliss arrives on the scene in time to save them—but his actions trigger a larger investigation that puts his own neck on the line. From South Dakota to Anchorage to the Inupiaq villages of the Arctic, Arliss follows this bloodstained trail of clues to a remote lodge on the banks of the Kobuk River. Here, in this unforgiving wilderness, he will find the answers he seeks. Here, in this untamed, often violent land, he will come face to face with the terrible truth—and the man behind his brother’s murder . . .

Good guys vs bad guys surrounded by Alaska!

Nonstop action curated by a lifetime of experience by author Marc Cameron. I waited impatiently a long time for this latest book and was not disappointed. The detailed descriptions of everything Alaska and everything law-enforcement sandwiched by individual personalities and Family is always knocked out of the park for a bases loaded grand slam. Never disappointed, and always looking forward to the next great read. Highly recommended!

Believable, immersive, visceral !

Mr. Cameron takes us into bush Alaska and intros us to some of the worst and best of mankind. He draws on his load of experience, humor and obvious love of writing, and he always makes me wonder “what the HECK would I DO in Cutters situation??
Perfect match of book to reader- David Chandler is perfecto!

The Internal Strength of Marshal Cutter.

The story started off very slowly and then took it’s time building to a great climax .

Plots getting Richer

The author planted future plot points in his first few novels and resolves those important plot points in "Bad River". An excellent read. I am a big Arliss Cutter fan.

Great story with strong characters

Love the story continuation and progress for the characters. Also the power of family and doing whatever it takes to save a dear friend. Great narrator.

Too much Grumpy

I have enjoyed listening to this series, however like other reviewers have commented there is too much Grumpy. Why not write a prequel outlining Grumpy’s life and leave it like that. Grumpy’s perfection only makes the characters look inferior.

Finally

Yes- this book brought conclusion to Ethan’s death.

I just hope this isn’t the end of the series. I really like Arliss Cutter and his partner.

Cutter story evolving

This read answered or tied together some lingering unanswered questions concerning Arliss brother Ethan’s death and his on going evolving relationship with Mimm. And of course….also includes a lot of cool action scenes along with vivid descriptions of the Alaskan terrain. Also ends with an interesting teaser.
