“A double-barreled blast of action, narrative, and impossible-to-fake authenticity with a great sense of place and a terrific protagonist. I’m looking forward to many more Arliss Cutter thrillers.” —C.J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Open Carry

Bestselling master of suspense, and author of TOM CLANCY POWER AND EMPIRE, Marc Caemron’s fourth book in the acclaimed Arliss Cutter thriller series.

After an early spring thaw on the Alaskan coast, Anchorage police discover a gruesome new piece of evidence in their search for a serial killer: a dismembered human foot.
 
In Kincaid Park, a man is arrested for attacking a female jogger. Investigators believe they have finally captured the sadistic serial killer. But one deputy is sure they have the wrong man.
 
In the remote northern town of Deadhorse, Alaska, Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter escorts three handcuffed prisoners onto a small bush plane on route to Anchorage. It’s a routine mission and a nonstop flight—or so he thinks. When the plane makes an unexpected landing in the middle of nowhere, all hell breaks loose.
 
Back in Anchorage, deputy Lola Teariki has traced the dismembered foot to a missing girl—and the serial psychopath who slaughtered her. It’s one of the prisoners on Cutter’s flight . . .

Ratings and reviews

Cold Snap by Marc Cameron Arliss Cutter #4 Excellent addition to the series typing up some loose ends while setting the stage for the next book in the series – could not put it down! What I liked: * The Prologue that tells us more about Arliss, his brother, and grandfather…and an anchor for the “Grumpy-isms” or laws Cutter mentions and lives by * Arliss Cutter: Supervisory US Marshal, grew up in Florida, military veteran, experienced, married four times, a man of action – when it is required, there for his brother’s family, a man I would want on my side. * Lola Teariki: Deputy US Marshall, strong, intelligent, workout fiend, likes a puzzle, intriguing, Arliss’s partner at work, outgoing, forthright, capable, interesting…might be interested in Joe Bill? * Joe Bill Brackett: police officer, relatively new on the job, intrigued by the serial murderer leaving body parts about, inquisitive, dedicated, is attracted to Lola…eager to see what happens next * Chief Deputy Jill Phillips: good leader, boss of Arliss and Lola, mother, wife, good leader * Seeing how Arliss’s sister-in-law, niece, and nephews are doing – wonder how it will all eventually play out – also enjoyed seeing how the niece stepped up when she needed to. * The setting – Alaska in all of the cold bitterness it has to provide – one of the biggest characters to contend with of all * Learning about snow caves then looking them up to find out how to make one * The tie-in to the previous books and continuation of the serial killer case * The plot, writing, and the way one of the threads from previous books was tied up * The way the police worked together whether dealing with crimes and criminals or searching for those lost in the wilderness * Noah and Piper: graduate students in a remote area that ended up playing a big part in the story – liked them both and wouldn’t mind seeing them again. * Battles, Meeks, Cyril, Hough…and so many more…each character provided something the story needed * The teaser regarding what the next book’s focus will probably be * All of it really except… What I didn’t like: * The criminals Arliss was sent to transport to trial – as well as a few other criminals that were dealt with in the story * Basically…everyone and everything I was meant not to like ;) Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Definitely! Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
