The new novel from the author of the internationally bestselling The Horse Whisperer.

Two backcountry skiers find the body of a young woman embedded in the ice of a remote mountain creek. All through the night police work with arc lights and chainsaws to prise her out. Identifying her doesn't take so long. Abbie Cooper is wanted for murder and her picture is on law enforcement computers all across America. But how did she die? And what was the trail of events that led this golden child of a loving family so tragically astray?

Review
*'Pure drama and tragedy, expertly told' DAILY MIRROR *'Compellingly readable, refreshingly free of artistic pretensions' THE TIMES *'A fine and multi-faceted thriller' DAILY MAIL *'When it comes to the art of beginning a novel, Evans could give a masterclass ... he's put you on the edge of your seat before the story's even begun ... few authors are better at examining how we build up intimacy and how easily it can be lost, especially when disaster knocks at the door' GLAMOUR
