- Publisher: Pan Macmillan
- 'Cormac McCarthy was such a virtuoso, his language was so rich and new... McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute. His sentences were astonishing.' - Anne EnrightAdapted by the Coen Brothers into an Academy Award winning film, No Country For Old Men is a dark and suspenseful novel from the late Cormac McCarthy, author of The Road. Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, 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?
