Friends want to see you succeed, just never more than them.

Sadie and Willa have competed against each other on slalom courses in sunny Florida since they were kids. They were the two best skiers then, and they're the two best skiers now. The only thing that's changed is instead of playing Barbies in between runs, they now plot ways to beat the other. Turns out, there's a fine line between friends and frenemies. Now twenty-eight, at the height of their careers and shining an international spotlight on water skiing, the media-and Sadie's legendary family with strong ties to a sketchy mega church-have written the narrative of a rivalry more cutthroat than the sport has ever seen.

It would all be straightforward-who's the better skier?-if only the women didn't carry dark secrets from their pasts, both of which have the potential to thwart everything they've worked for. Add in the fact that Willa has long been in love with Sadie's husband-the third member of their childhood trio-and they're left with a combative season ahead. What no one knows, however, is that it will be far from a typical ski season, because at the end, someone will be dead and their lives will be changed forever.

THE SKIERS explores how far people are willing to go to reach the top, the complexity of female friendships, and the search for self amid incredible outside pressure.

Clutching my husband's hand, I screech with delight as the rollercoaster loops through the air. I feel young and free for the first time in years, but as we roll to a stop and I look for our three beloved children in the crowd, I panic. I can only see two. Where is my daughter?

Today was meant to be special. A final fun family day out before five-year-old Summer joins her big siblings at school. But in an instant, we're plunged into a nightmare. We scream her name as we frantically search the amusement park for a glimpse of her flaming red hair.

When the police ask about strangers, grudges and enemies, I have no answers, just questions. Why did I think I could leave my children alone, even for a minute? What kind of mother am I?

I feel in my heart that Summer is out there somewhere. But as I obsess about finding her, my family is falling apart. My eldest daughter Merritt is withdrawn. My son Gus is angry. And after seventeen years of marriage, my husband has never felt more like a stranger. Where does he go when he says he's working late? Who is he constantly messaging?

I must fight to hold my family together, but I'm terrified Summer's disappearance will destroy us all. Will I ever forgive myself for letting her out of my sight? Will I ever hold her tiny hand in mine again?

A completely gripping and emotional page-turner about every parent's darkest fear. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Kate Hewitt.
