P.S. Has anyone read any of this author's historical mysteries? I really like historicals, but haven't run into any of his before. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion?
McCammon wrote a lot of horror back in the 80's and early 90's, which I enjoyed as a young man. Apparently, he wanted to get out of that genre and his Boy's Life was excellent coming-of-age story. He took a hiatus for quite a while rather than continuing to write horror stuff that he didn't want to do any more.

I've read a couple of the Matthew Corbett books, and I enjoyed them.
