Fiction | Thriller
In his blistering new novel, Cormac McCarthy returns to
the Texas-Mexico border, setting of his famed Border
Trilogy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given
way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire
zones.
One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss
finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men.
A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still
in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain
reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law...in
the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell...can
contain.
As Moss tries to evade his pursuers--in
particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human
lives--McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime
novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as
ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this
morning's headlines.
No Country for Old Men is a
triumph.
