"Cameron's books are riveting page-turners." -Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author 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 Native 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. Instead of tracking dangerous fugitives, Cutter and Lola will be keeping track of sequestered jurors in a high-profile trial. The case involves a massive drug conspiracy with ties to a mining company, a lobbyist, and two state senators. When a prosecuting attorney is murdered-and a reporter viciously attacked-Cutter realizes they're dealing with something much bigger, and darker, than a simple drug trial. The truth lies deep within the ancient sites and precious mines of this isolated land-and inside the cold hearts of those would kill to hide its secrets... What's buried in Alaska stays in Alaska. "Suspenseful . . . Readers can only hope they won't have long to wait for Cutter's third outing." -Publishers Weekly on Stone Cross "A double-barreled blast of action, narrative, and impossible-to-fake authenticity with a great sense of place and a terrific protagonist." -C.J.

Praise for BONE RATTLE "A deputy U.S. marshal stationed in Alaska is challenged by a handful of serious cases and a complicated home life...[An] energetic potboiler." -Kirkus Reviews Praise for Marc Cameron's Arliss Cutter Novels "Great storytellers aren't made. They're born. It's in their DNA. And Marc Cameron is one of the great ones. Cameron's novels hook you from the first line, cement your eyes to the page, and grip your heart in a vice. His characters are raw and real, their complexity shaped by Cameron's deep understanding of human frailty. His plot lines are so cleverly twisted you never see the switchbacks coming. Honest to God, I can't think of another writer whose work I admire more." -William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author of This Tender Land "Looking for authentic action, suspense, drama, and mystery? Look no further than U.S. Marshals Service veteran Marc Cameron whose thrillers capture the visceral nature of life in the trenches as only one who has lived it truly can. Strap in and enjoy the ride!" -Jack Carr, 1 New York Times bestselling author and former Navy SEAL Sniper "A double-barreled blast of action, narrative, and impossible-to-fake authenticity with a great sense of place and a terrific protagonist." -C.J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Cameron's books are riveting page-turners." -Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Every single book in the riveting, best-selling Arliss Cutter series is simply impossible to put down-or out of mind! And Breakneck is no different. It's one hell of a book. Sharply drawn characters, intense action scenes, and a captivating narrative result in a white-knuckle thrill ride. Marc Cameron has earned his spot in the front ranks of thriller writers." -Simon Gervais, former RCMP counterterrorism officer and bestselling author of The Last Protector "Cameron, who has nearly three decades in law enforcement and a stint as a U.S. Marshal, keeps all these plot points delicately balanced and the same time creates sympathetic heroes, depraved villains, and nail-biting action. Readers will eagerly await his next." -Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW on Open Carry "Riveting...Cameron puts the reader in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. They feel the wind at their face, and the bitter cold from the downpour of snow. Animals also become a factor with wolves and an 800-pound grizzly bear trying to get their next meal. There is no means of communication, few supplies, and prisoners who want nothing more than to kill Cutter. He must use all his skills to protect himself and others found in the wilderness. The plot and characters are enthralling." -Military Press on Cold Snap "Spectacular on all fronts...The action is fast-paced and will have you glued to each page. The way the author describes the austere and beautiful Alaskan landscape makes you feel like you're really there. The protagonist is captivating and the supporting characters each carry the story in their own ways. But perhaps the greatest feather in the cap of this novel is the emotional depth, which brings a rare degree of realness to the novel...Marshall Cutter is everything you'd want in a U.S. Army Ranger-turned-law-enforcement-officer. He's stoic like the star of a Western film, he's crafty like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, and he always takes the most practical route in stopping criminals...I can honestly say that this novel was one of the best I've read in a good long while and it will keep you hooked-page by page, chapter by chapter." -We Are The Mighty on Open Carry "Set in the vast Alaskan landscape where a small village attempts to keep its dark secrets hidden, Marc Cameron's Open Carry reads like a cross between Lee Child's The Killing Floor and C.J. Box's Blood Trail...and is perfect for fans of both those series." -The Real Book Spy "Cameron effectively combines investigation and straight-ahead action, and he has fashioned a compelling, never-give-an-inch hero who will appeal to Jack Reacher fans. Jump in now for what looks to be a series that thriller fans will follow closely." -Booklist on Open Carry "Intricate, multilayered...Cameron populates his suspenseful tale, which builds to a satisfying, if violent, conclusion, with fully realized characters, each with their own believable backstory. His understanding of the ins and outs of small Alaskan communities makes for a rich sense of time and place. Readers can only hope they won't have long to wait for Cutter's third outing." -Publishers Weekly on Stone Cross "The diverse viewpoints add dimension as well as suspense, resulting in a solid crime novel involving wilderness adventure...Marc Cameron's new book is terrific." -New York Journal of Books on Open Carry "If you want to read an exciting mystery, with elements of a thriller, and a hero reminiscent of classic Westerns, Stone Cross is a sure thing. I could smell the paint-thinner." -Criminal Element "A nail-biting quality on top of great characterization, a gripping plot, and clean, vivid writing." -The New York Journal of Books on Stone Cross "Cameron draws on his own service as a deputy federal marshal in Alaska...he does a good job balancing the multiple plotlines as well as characterization and action." -Publishers Weekly on Bone Rattle "Cameron piles on the complications in the thrilling finale, played out in a remote wilderness setting, with an icy storm on the horizon and a hungry 800-pound grizzly looking for his next meal.
