The Divide

Between every man and every woman there is a wilderness called THE DIVIDE.
Ten years after his phenomenal number-one bestseller "The Horse Whisperer," Nicholas Evans returns with his most powerful novel to date, an epic thriller of the human heart.
On a crystalline Montana morning, 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 floodlights and chainsaws to extract her. Identifying her, however, takes no time at all. Abbie Cooper is wanted for murder and acts of eco-terrorism, and her picture is on law enforcement computers all across the country. But how did she die? And what was the trail of events that led this golden child of a loving family so tragically astray?
A devastating journey of discovery that extends from the street of New York to the daunting grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, THE DIVIDE tells the story of a family fractured by betrayal and struggling in search of lost happiness. It explores the pain we inflict on those we love the most, and charts the passions and needs, the dashed hopes and disillusionments that connect and divide all men and women.
