STONE CROSS is a great read, written by someone who actually knows Alaska (which is more rare than I'd wish.) It's essentially an "action thriller" slowed down by the realities of a blizzard in a rural setting. Cameron also works a good deal more character development into his tale than I've found in most thrillers. I'm now looking for book 3 in the series.
I don't understand why this series is not more popular, because so far it is excellent. It reminds me of the Cork O'Conner series.... if Cork had a propensity for violence. Good story telling with compelling characters.
