Synopsis

For readers of You Will Know Me, Carrie Soto Is Back, The Ballerinas, and Big Little Lies, The Skiers is a psychological suspense novel set in the fiercely competitive world of professional water skiing, where ambition, obsession, and lifelong rivalry collide with deadly consequences.

Sadie and Willa have spent their entire lives competing. Raised on Florida slalom courses, they grew up as teammates, best friends, and each other's fiercest competition. They were the two best skiers then. They're still the two best skiers now. But somewhere along the way, friendship became rivalry.

At the height of their careers, the media has transformed them into the sport's ultimate feud. Fans choose sides. Sponsors fuel the narrative. And Sadie's powerful family—with deep ties to a controversial megachurch—has helped create a public image neither woman can escape.

To the outside world, the question is simple: Who is the better skier? The truth is far more dangerous.
Both women are hiding secrets from their past that threaten everything they've spent years building. And Willa has spent nearly as long hiding another secret: she's still in love with Sadie's husband, the third member of the inseparable trio they formed as children.

As the season unfolds, rivalries intensify, loyalties fracture, and old wounds resurface. Then someone dies.
Told through multiple perspectives and interwoven witness interviews, The Skiers is an addictive story of female friendship, ambition, jealousy, family pressure, and the impossible cost of being the best.

Because winning has always been everything. Until it costs more than anyone expected.
