A savage tale of violence and morality in the American West, Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men follows a Vietnam veteran's dark path after stumbling upon a drug deal gone wrong.
Adapted for the screen by the Coen Brothers (Fargo, True Grit), winner of four Academy Awards (including Best Picture).
'A Western thriller with a racy plot and punchy dialogue' - The Times
1980. Llewelyn Moss is hunting antelope near the Rio Grande when he discovers the aftermath of a drug deal turned deadly. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice - walk away or take the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything.
And so begins a terrifying chain of events, as each player in this brutal game seems determined to answer one question: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?
'It's hard to think of a contemporary writer more worth reading' - Independent
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
Praise for Cormac McCarthy:
'McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute' - Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren
'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' - Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series
'In presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' - Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain
