Title: Pretty darned good.
Review: Greg Rucka, <strong>Whiteout</strong> (Oni Press, 1999)I was completely convinced for a couple of years that I'd read <em>Whiteout</em> right around the time the movie was released, so I never bothered getting it out of the library again to check until about a month ago. Oops, turns out I was entirely wrong. If you've seen the movie (or heard about it), you know the drill: strong, engaging female character is forced to solve a murder in Antarctica, possibly earning herself a ticket back to civilization if she does. There's a great deal of snow (and Rucka is solid at figuring out how to maximize the effect of his white spaces without making them look like "blank page"), some undercurrents of sexism that break onto the surface now and then, and a solid mystery. Even if you never saw the movie, perhaps especially if you never saw the movie, this one's good reading. ***
