On the deceptively calm waters of Alaska's Inside Passage, a generations-old vendetta catches up to Deputy U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter in New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. Marshal Marc Cameron's chilling new wilderness thriller for fans of Paul Doiron, CJ Box, Taylor Moore, and William Kent Krueger. 1977. D Wayne Cutter is a former U.S. Army Green Beret, part-time horseshoer, and a full-time Texas deputy sheriff with a second grandchild on the way when a quiet Sunday morning ends in murder and a manhunt. The theft of five million dollars in diamonds from an armored truck leaves two guards dead, one outlaw tracked down and taken out by Cutter, and another, Ricky Lee Pink--two-hundred-forty pounds of teenage rage--sentenced to life. The diamonds were never recovered. And Pinky never forgot that heist gone violently wrong.
2026. Following in the righteous footsteps of his late grandfather, Deputy U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter gets word that Pinky has been granted release. Nursing a grudge for decades, Pinky vows to avenge the murder of his criminal mentor and find the whereabouts of the stolen gems that he believes is a buried Cutter family secret. Boarding an Alaskan cruise ship, and joined by two miscreant cellmates and his penpal girlfriend, Pinky aims for Anchorge--home to his ultimate target: everyone Arliss holds near and dear. Arliss must move fast because Pinky has the edge. And he has the mind to make the last living Cutter pay.
