I second the Corbett books. Speaks the Nightbird was the first McCammon I read, and from the first couple of chapters, it was clear to me that he can *write*. I finished the series to date, and I'm now making my way through his older works. (Just finished Mystery Walk; About to start Usher's Passing).
The audio for the Corbett books are outstanding, by the way. Highly recommend them.
