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 a century ago, in Hope, Montana, the wolf was slaughtered to extinction and though now protected by a 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 rancher, Buck Calder.
From 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 primal passion and redemptive love. 

          'The Horse Whisperer… conveyed a genuine and personal emotional charge which resonated with millions of readers. The Loop, Evans’ second novel, confirms that he is that rare phenomenon, a natural storyteller’ – Mail on Sunday
