Whiteout is a comic book limited series by writer Greg Rucka and artist Steve Lieber. It was originally released in four issues during 1998, by Oni Press and then collected into a trade paperback. A film adaptation of the series was released in 2009. Plot US Marshall Carrie Stetko is disgraced after murdering a criminal in a blind rage. As punishment, she's sent to McMurdo Station in Antarctica where she establishes herself as someone not to be messed with. Sometime after Stetko's arrival, a body is found on the ice surrounded by mysterious holes in the snow. Since the face is destroyed, he's identified through prints as Alex Keller, a member of a scientific expedition. Stetko investigates the other members of Keller's expedition, starting at Victoria Station. After meeting British agent Lilly Sharpe, the two find the two members stationed at the base murdered and the killer attacks, knocking out Sharpe and chasing Stetko outside. During her escape, Stetko gets frostbite from touching a door handle without a glove and nearly dies of hypothermia before Sharpe saves her. Back at McMurdo, Stetko's hand is treated by Dr. Furry, who is forced to amputate two of her fingers. Despite the setback, Stetko, now aided by Sharpe, learns that two more members are at the South Pole station. While Sharpe finds them dead as well, Stetko finds a surprisingly alive Keller. He flees, but is found inside the plane that brought Stetko and Sharpe, along with several bars of gold. After Sharpe stops Keller from killing Stetko, the two bring him back to McMurdo, where they realize the first victim is actually another member of the team, Weiss, and the murders were performed to keep the gold found in the snow, hence the holes. Sharpe sees Furry speaking with pilot Haden and becomes suspicious of the two, since Keller would need a pilot to help move the gold. When Furry realizes her suspicions, Haden tries to kill her, but flees when she wounds him. Afraid the incident will lead to him, Furry tries to help Haden leave. When Haden, convinced Furry is trying to cut him out, attacks him, Furry kills him. After treating Sharpe, Stetko forces Keller to admit Furry's involvement. Having realized Furry must have falsified the first victim's prints, Stetko and Sharpe check one of the bodies and find it full of gold bars. Stetko then arrests Furry and
