Book description
Helen Ross, a twenty-nine-year-old biologist, is sent to a sleepy Rocky
Mountain ranching town to defend a pack of wolves from those who want to
destroy them. For in Hope, Montana, a century ago, the wolf was
slaughtered to extinction and though now protected by law as an
endangered species, the old hatred runs deep. Alone in this hostile
place, bruised by a broken love affair, Helen struggles for self-esteem
and survival, embarking on a dangerous alliance with the son of her most
ferocious opponent, the brutal and charismatic Buck Calder. Form its
heart-stopping first chapter to its devastating climax, The Loop, set in
the same vast landscape as The Horse Whisperer, is an epic tale of
passion and redemptive love. Nicholas Evans was a screenwriter and
film producer before writing his first novel, The Horse Whisperer. He
lives in Devon.
