Stone Cross

De: Marc Cameron

Narrado por: David Chandler

In a remote Alaskan village, Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter searches for a stone-cold killer amid a hotbed of corruption, lies, and long-buried secrets....

Winter comes early to the rural native community of Stone Cross, Alaska - and so does hunting season. Caribou and moose are a major source of food through the long, dark months ahead. But Arliss Cutter has come here for a very different game. A federal judge is receiving death threats and refuses protection. Cutter and his deputy Lola Teariki have been assigned to shadow him on his trip to this icy outland to make sure that he's safe. But they quickly discover that no one is ever really safe in a place like this. And no one is above suspicion....

When Cutter and Lola arrive, the village is already gripped with fear. A young couple has disappeared from their fishing lodge, just eight miles upriver. Their handyman has been found dead, next to a crude drawing of a mysterious symbol. To make matters worse, a dense fog has descended on the region, isolating the town from civilization. With the judge's life still at risk, and two people still missing, Cutter and Lola have their work cut out for them. But navigating the small-town customs and blood-bound traditions of this close-knit community won't be easy. When the secrets come out, the deadly hunt is on....

Because in Alaska, nothing runs colder than blood.

Riveting Action

I just spent hours in Alaska and didn't want to leave. The vivid action, the howling storm, the brave K9 and sled dogs, the Native culture, the colorful people, all captivated me. I lived among them and wanted to get to know them better.

Good

A good read. May be a little slow at the beginning, but definitely gets into it.

Great series for sure

I have been really enjoying this series of books so far and writing down grumpyisms reminds me of me and talks with my grandson . need the whole list . 🙏

I love the setting having lived there

Lots of guts, action, tribal life made this what I saw also living there myself.

Great story. Snooty narrator

The story is great. The characters are great. The descriptions are great. The narrator is the only thing holding this back from being 5 stars. He’s a snob and clearly never been outdoors.

Excellent read.

Well scripted story about remote Alaska and the people who live there and a wee bit of drama.

Kinda slow

This book is kind of slow for the simplicity of the plot. They spend too much time on background stuff.

The characters

Great store set in very cold location made me cold at times. Well told by Dave Chandler.

Descriptions of nature 's challenges and beauty.

Reader a bit overly stenerous and grim way more than script needed. Always in MC mode even when that tone was not logical.

Narrator to slow

I had to accelerate the reading speed to 1.2X normal to be able to listen to this book.
The story was interesting, characters enjoyable, but I couldn’t stand the dragging narration. But it actually sounded normal when sped up electronically.
