Marc Cameron’s latest novel is “Cold Snap.” Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter escorts four very dangerous handcuffed prisoners onto a small bush plane enroute to Fairbanks, Alaska. When the plane goes down in the wilderness, all hell breaks loose. The prisoners murder the pilot and a guard and torch the plane. Back in Anchorage, Deputy Lola Teariki has traced a dismembered foot to a missing girl and the serial killer who slaughtered her – one of Cutter’s prisoners. Now it’s a deadly game of survivors. “Cold Snap” is available digitally in Libby!
