Cormac McCarthy
In his blistering new novel, Cormac McCarthy returns to the Texas-Mexico border, the 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, 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 lawâ€“in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bellâ€“can contain.,As Moss tries to evade his pursuersâ€“in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human livesâ€“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 morningâ€™s headlines. ,No Country for Old Men, is a triumph.
