NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

Savage violence and cruel morality reign in the backwater deserts of McCarthy's novel, a tale of one man's dark opportunity, and the darker consequences that spiral forth. 1980. Llewelyn Moss, a Vietnam veteran, is hunting antelope near the Rio Grande when he stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice - leave the scene as he found it or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter he knows will change everything, and so begins a terrifying chain of events in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another - how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? The great thriller writer Stephen King said of this: 'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power.' And the Literary Review: 'Outstanding dialogue, vivid characters, a powerful sense of place.' 309 page paperback.
