This book is about a man trying to come to terms with a violent act that destroyed his life and his belief in himself. When Michael Somers returns to the small town where he had a troubled upbringing, he is isolated and shunned. Through the unlikely catalysts of an injured falcon and a derelict hardware store that once belonged to his father, Michael unwittingly becomes the focus for people who are struggling with their own lives. Pete Ellis is losing his wife, Rachel, and everything he does to try to rescue his marriage seems to backfire on him, while Susan, Michael’s neighbour, is trying to cope with her troubled son and her feelings for the town cop, who is in love with her. The harsh, but also beautiful snow-covered mountains of the Pacific Northwest where the story is set, reflects the characters themselves. They are neither all good nor all bad but are capable of both. This is a moving and thought-provoking novel of love and redemption, and also of the weakness of human nature that can sometimes lead to bitterness and tragedy.

(During the First World War, young men in flimsy biplanes ...)
During the First World War, young men in flimsy biplanes fought one another in the skies above France. In 1917 William Reynolds is a pilot in the Flying Corp, an ace whose solitary habits and criticism of the class-ridden hierarchy ensure that he is resented by his fellow pilots, who are unaware of his background and the betrayal that left him embittered. Though poor and from a rural working-class background, William was educated at a minor English public school. Without money he grows up straddling social classes, belonging to neither, until his interest in aviation results in friendship with the aristocratic Christopher Horsham, and Elizabeth, who William falls in love with. However, during the summer of 1913 against the idyllic setting of the Horsham ancestral home, Pitsford House, and evenings spent at local jazz dances, love turns to a conflict of loyalty and ultimately, tragedy.

In a small Arizona town, several people have lost all memory of the past twenty-four hours of their lives after encountering unusual, bright lights that appeared above the desert. In Fairbanks, Alaska, a dying journalist convinces a colleague, Nick Hanley, that the cataclysm responsible for wiping out the large ice-age animals twelve thousand years ago, maybe about to happen again. Nick travels to Arizona looking for a scientist who was discredited after he published a paper in which he hypothesized that the current climate changes affecting earth may be part of a long term cycle, driven by the electromagnetic activity of the sun. Before Nick can find the scientist, a meteorite explodes near the town of Bryce, and people quickly become sick from an unknown virus. Almost immediately, the entire area is quarantined to prevent the possibility of a global pandemic.

Gradually it seems possible that there is a link between an ancient treasure that Robert's father spent many years searching for and the tragic events surrounding Alex's grandmother during the Second World War. But the beautiful tranquillity of the island is deceptive. Suddenly Alex vanishes, and Robert is embroiled in a desperate search, for the woman and for the solution that had evaded his father. To find the truth he must come to understand his own past and learn to face the troubled relationships that have dominated his life. Atmospheric, tense and compelling, this blend of classical myth with ancient and recent history creates a memorable and thrilling novel.

Stuart was born in 1958 in Northamptonshire, England, United Kingdom.
Stuart Harrison left school at 16 with no particular distinction.
After school Stuart moved to New Zealand in 1980, where he subsequently worked in a variety of occupations. He dreamed of becoming a writer. Harrison and his wife lived in New Zealand, where his business was putting a financial strain on the couple. It was during this time that he decided to fulfill his dream of becoming a novelist.
His first novel was a thriller, and although Harrison was satisfied with it and felt that he had finally found a job that he loved, the manuscript was rejected by all the publishing houses that received it. Hoping to find inspiration in a new environment and new people, Harrison, his wife, and their four-month-old son moved to England, where Harrison had been born and where he had spent his youth. Harrison also hoped that by being closer to London’s publishing world it would be easier to have his works published. He continued to write, but every one of the novels he sent to publishing houses was sent back. After about three years of rejections and increasing financial difficulties, it seemed that a move back to New Zealand was imminent, but Harrison was not yet ready to give up. He gave himself a year to write one more novel, and within that year he wrote The Snow Falcon. Dawn L. Anderson, writing in the Library Journal, praises the work as “a beautiful, lyrical ode to a magnificent bird of prey and a novel of forgiveness and redemption.”
