Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
Officers always say the toughest outlaws to catch are former law enforcement officers – they know all the investigative techniques and ways to avoid detection. That holds true for Deputy US Marshall Arliss Cutter and his team on their latest manhunt. Just a few months after solving his brother’s murder, Arliss is back on the job looking to teach his partner the tricks that have made him a success tracker while still keeping her safe. Will they be able to find this cold-blooded killer before Lola gets seriously injured or someone else ends up dead?
Dead Line is the 7th book in Marc Cameron’s Arliss Cutter series focused on law enforcement in the Alaskan tundra. Cameron, himself a retired Chief Deputy US Marshall currently living in Alaska, expertly weaves in professional knowledge and local facts to develop scenes that leap off the page and pull readers in. This novel delivers the suspense, family drama, and mystery I have grown to love in all of Cameron’s work.
I give Dead Line 5 out of 5 stars. I loved seeing the continuation of the storyline around Mim and the kids after the challenges they faced in Bad River. It was also interesting to learn more about the Cutter’s backstory and family. The fugitive chases and auxiliary characters give the novel a genuine feel. I am a huge fan of Marc Cameron’s works and this book is no different. Coming in at 336 pages, I finished this book in just one day – I couldn’t put it down!
If you have loved Cameron’s other works in the Cutter series or his works in the Jericho Quinn and John Ryan series, you will love this book. Given it is a domestic thriller with a degree of violence, this book would be best directed to mature audiences over 16. I would recommend this book to readers who love thrillers, mysteries, and law enforcement novels – especially if you have enjoyed works by John Sandford or William Kent Krueger.
I was excited to see a release date for this novel – I’ve been waiting for it since I finished the previous book! These characters and Cameron’s writing have me hooked on this story line and I can’t wait for more. As with every book in the Arliss Cutter series, I love the cover art for Dead Line, too – the sun just over the mountains is gorgeous!
Dead Line will release July 29th. You can pre-order your copy today on our Bookshop.org page!
