Synopsis
Set in our own time along the bloody frontier between Texas and Mexico, this is Cormac McCarthy's first novel since Cities of the Plain completed his acclaimed, best-selling Border Trilogy . Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot dead, a load of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash. Packing the money out, he knows, will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim's burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the carnage out in the desert, and he soon realizes how desperately Moss and his young wife need protection. One party in the failed transaction hires an exSpecial Forces officer to defend his interests against a mesmerizing freelancer, while on either side are men accustomed to spectacular violence and mayhem. The pursuit stretches up and down and across the border, each participant seemingly determined to answer what one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? A harrowing story of a war that society is waging on itself, and an enduring meditation on the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies, No Country for Old Men is a novel of extraordinary resonance and power.

    • All Cormac McCarthy is good!

      love all cormac mccarthy. the setting is more contemporary than the border trilogy but is still an intense good read. not as great as blood meridian however, which is one the best books i've ever read.

      I was pleased. There was a very small chip on the top edge of the book jacket. I was expecting a fine/near fine jacket.

    • No Country for Old Men

      No Country for Old Men is a taut powerhouse of suspense and moral quandaries. Despite being perhaps one of McCarthy's more outwardly simplistic novels in form, it dwells in unmistakable themes of fate and chaos. It will not disappoint with either its thrilling action or its philosophy.

    • Great Story

      The movie was great, and the book is even better. Impossible to put it down once I started. The book explains things that the film does not.
