Llewlyn 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?""No Country for Old Men" is a compelling, harrowing, disturbing, sad, endlessly surprising and resonant novel" - Robert Edric, "Spectator". ""No Country for Old Men" is a severed head and shoulders over anything else written in America this year" - "Independent on Sunday". "A Western thriller with a racy plot and punchy dialogue, perfect for a lazy Sunday" - Sarah Emily Miano, "The Times". "[An] utterly absorbing, chilling tale...One of the most sinister characters in modern American fiction" - "Herald". "A fast, powerful read, steeped with a deep sorrow about the moral degradation of the legendary American West" - Lionel Shriver, "Financial Times".
