The Loop by Nicholas Evans

A pack of wolves makes a sudden, bloody return to the sleepy Rocky Mountains ranching town of Hope, Montana, where a century ago they were slaughtered in their thousands. Now shielded by law as an endangered species, they reawake an ancient hatred that will tear apart a family and ultimately the whole community.

The Loop is the story of Helen Ross, a twenty-nine-year-old biologist sent alone into this hostile place to protect the wolves from those who seek to destroy them. It tells of her struggle for self-esteem and survival, and charts her dangerous love affair with the eighteen-year-old son of her most powerful opponent, brutal and charismatic rancher Buck Calder.

From its breathtaking first chapter to its devastating climax, The Loop is an epic tale of primal passion and redemptive love, exploring man's conflict with nature and the wild within himself.
