Bad River by Marc Cameron

Bad River by Marc Cameron is the sixth book in the Arliss Cutter series.  The book can be read as a stand alone.  Arliss Cutter is a Supervisory Deputy US Marshall.  He is a man who seems to make connections and stays focused on the final result.  His partner is Deputy Lola Teariki who is just as determined.    

Together they are working on a task force to arrest a man for crimes with children.  Then we have a dead woman in northern Alaska with rare teeth in her possession that were Arliss’ brother’s.  On top of that we have a well blowing up, bad men around every corner and bears – really big hungry polar bears.

I loved how the cases moved around as Arliss and Lola worked on the various angles. The descriptions of the people and the setting made me feel part of the story.  I became nervous more than once.  (Wait for the door with the nails.) Marc Cameron’s book Bad River was a good read.  I will be looking for more of his thrillers.
