A master's stark parable. National Book Award-winning author
McCarthy's No Country for Old Men is a somber, compelling fable
of a Texas hunter who stumbles on $2 million in cash and heroin,
and then goes on the run from murderers, drug lords, and an aging,
introspective sheriff. The author's terse and lyrical prose,
riveting character-driven narrative, and profound meditation on the
battle between good and evil are on full display in this
mesmerizing, modern-day western.
