From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road comes a "profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered" novel (The Washington Post) that returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of the 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, a good old boy named 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 law—in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell—can contain.

As Moss tries to evade his pursuers—in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives—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 morning’s headlines.

No Country for Old Men
is a triumph.

Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

    Putting aside the violence, this book deeply explores morality and ethics in an almost sublime way. But the author does have a unique writing style that at times seemed very challenging in ways that made it more difficult to stay connected to the underlying story.
  • Too intriguing.

    Once you read the first page of Chigurh strangling the man with hand cuffs, you can’t stop reading. I came into the book already seeing the movie, and it’s my absolute second favorite out of every movie I’ve seen, and the novel is so much better. Sure, it’s at times violent and brutal, but it’s a novel about the drug trade issue. And even though I’m only 20% in, the way the gas station scene plays out isn’t as suspenseful as it is in the movie, but it’s also very chilling in the book. My first McCarthy novel, and it won’t be my last. If you loved the movie, you’re going to love the novel.

    Incredible read. Was glued to the pages while reading an enthralling thriller and learning from themes of religion, regret, chance and fate, and a changing world.
  • Maybe I just didn’t get it.

    I read a lot of books and this one was pretty boring. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I rarely stop reading a book before I finish it just in case it redeems itself in the end. This one did not. Seems to be quite popular though so maybe it’s me. 🤷🏼‍♀️
  • Classic
