#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES'S 50 BEST THRILLERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road, Blood Meridian, and All the Pretty Horses, this is the profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered novel (The Washington Post) that inspired the Academy Award(R)-winning film.

A narrative that rips along like hell on wheels [on] a stage as big as Texas.--The New York Times Book Review

The setting is the Texas-Mexico border. 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.
