Three stories about the dark side of young love…

In "Counterflow," young love blossoms in the trash-strewn shadow of a bridge. Then, a boy is "On the Road to Find Out" where he belongs — a journey filled with violence and longing. In "The Thunderhead and the Beast," every boy's dream comes knocking at the door, but this time it turns out to be a nightmare.

More About the Author

Critically-acclaimed mystery novelist Bill Cameron is the author of the dark, gritty mysteries COUNTY LINE, DAY ONE, CHASING SMOKE and LOST DOG--featuring irascible Portland homicide cop Skin Kadash. In a starred-review of COUNTY LINE, Publishers Weekly said, "Contemporary sharp-edged noir doesn't get much better than Cameron's mournful novel featuring ex-cop Skin Kadash." And Library Journal called COUNTY LINE, "A perfect fit for Archie Mayor and William Kent Krueger fans."

New York Times Bestselling Portland author Chelsea Cain described DAY ONE as "an utterly engrossing page-turner." In the Vancouver Voice, Carolyn Schultz-Rathbun said, "The body count is positively Shakespearean, but in Cameron's vision of P-town's dark underbelly, love really is strong as death. Maybe stronger." DAY ONE was a finalist for the 2011 Spotted Owl Award for best Northwest mystery.

CHASING SMOKE received a starred review from Library Journal, and Booklist declared, "it engages the reader on an emotional as well as literary level." It was a finalist for the 2009 Spotted Owl Award. LOST DOG was nominated for the 2008 Rocky Award and was a finalist for the 2008 Spotted Owl Award. His short story, "The Princess of Felony Flats," was nominated for a 2011 CWA Short Story Dagger Award.

Cameron's short fiction has appeared in PORTLAND NOIR, SPINETINGLER MAGAZINE, the KILLER YEAR and FIRST THRILLS anthologies, as well as on Lit 103.3: Fiction for the Ears. In 2011, a pair of Skin Kadash stories appeared in the anthologies WEST COAST CRIME WAVE and DEADLY TREATS.

Bill lives with his wife and poodle in Portland, Oregon, where he also serves as staff to a charming, yet imperious cat. He is an eager traveler and avid bird-watcher, and likes to write near a window so he can meditate on whatever happens to fly by during intractable passages. He is currently at work on his next mystery.
