The Crossing forms the second part of Cormac McCarthy's critically
acclaimed Border Trilogy, a story that began with All the Pretty
Horses and concludes with Cities of the Plain. Set on the
south-western ranches in the years before the Second World War,
Cormac McCarthy's The Crossing follows the fortunes of
sixteen-year-old Billy Parham and his younger brother Boyd.
Fascinated by an elusive wolf that has been marauding his family's
property, Billy captures the animal - but rather than kill it, sets
out impulsively for the mountains of Mexico to return it to where
it came from. When Billy comes back to his own home he finds
himself and his world irrevocably changed. His loss of innocence
has come at a price, and once again the border beckons with its
desolate beauty and cruel promise. 'The Crossing is like a river in
full spate: beautiful and dangerous' The Times This edition is part
of the Picador Collection, a series of the best in contemporary
literature, inaugurated in Picador's 50th Anniversary year.
