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.
