About this ebook

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 archeologist is sent to protect the ancient burial sites uncovered by an Alaskan gold mining company. He never returns. In Anchorage, a female torso 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 who would kill to hide its secrets . . .

Ratings and reviews

Bone Rattle by Marc Cameron Arliss Cutter #3 Another late night up past my bedtime as I swiped pages quickly to find out what Arliss Cutter would be dealing with in book three of this marvelous series. I still like him better than Jack Reacher, find him a man I want to get to know better, and can’t wait to find out more about him. What I liked: * Arliss Cutter: Deputy US Marshall, uncle, brother-in-law, tracker, teacher, protector, dead-shot, ex-military, swimmer and scuba diver, lethal on land and water, quiet man, wise, sharer of Grumpy Wisdom, admirable – I really like him. * Lola Teariki: Arliss’s work partner: mid-twenties, Maori, focused, eager, bright, physically fit, lethal, attractive, capable, good, someone I like and want to watch grow. * Watching Arliss at work – I learned more about tracking, better ways of processing information, and positive ways he interacts with people. * The way the story was told…and how I was lead toward the conclusion * Meeting new characters that will play a part in the future stories while catching up with characters met before. * Arliss’s brother’s family: Mim/sister-in-law, Connie/niece, and twins Matthew and Michael – they are characters that impact Arliss and will no doubt continue to do so in future books of the series. * Being made too think, care, root for characters, and become invested in the story. * The eventual outsmarting of bad guys * Learning more about Alaska * Being inspired to look up rattles. That said, I did look up bone rattles-shaman-Tlingit and what came up was this book…still did learn about more and will no doubt do some more sleuthing on the subject. * Finding out how Raven came to be…while sleuthing * Knowing that there will be a book four and that it will probably include the murderer/serial killer whose victims parts showed up in this book. * all of it really except… What I didn’t like: * What I was meant not to like…criminals and the crimes they committed. * Having to wait for book four. Did I like this book? Definitely! Will I read more in this series? As soon as I can! Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
