Synopsis
In Cormac McCarthy's ninth novel, his first in seven years, Llewellyn Moss, a hunter in McCarthy's Texas border country, happens upon $2 million in cash and a small fortune in heroin (as well as a heap of dead bodies), takes the money and drugs, and goes into hiding. This sets in motion a chain of events revolving around Sheriff Bell, the book's true hero--a brooding, introspective man haunted by the human capacity for evil (and by the ambiguities of his own life). The cast of characters also includes a completely amoral thief and murderer on the run after a prison escape, and the drug lord who is trying to track down his missing millions. McCarthy's gripping blood-soaked saga is both a compelling adventure story and a meditation on the horrors that humans are sometimes prey to.

Publisher's Note
Stumbling upon a bloody massacre, a cache of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash during a hunting trip near the Rio Grande, Llewelynn Moss removes the money, a decision that draws him and his young wife into the middle of a violent confrontation in which their only hope of survival is local sheriff Ed Tom Bell.
Industry reviews
"[A] formidable display of stunningly written scenes....Magnificent writing...makes the best case yet for putting McCarthy on a pedestal just below the one occupied by William Faulkner." Kirkus (05/15/2005) "What transpires in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is very similar to the events in many thrillers...but when they're expertly staged and pitilessly lighted by McCarthy, they somehow mean more than in an ordinary thriller. NO COUNTRY is suffused with Modernist melancholy, a sense that our civilization is dying and all we have ahead of us are endless salt flats of moral and cultural aridity....Bell's gloominess sometimes verges on kids-these-days curmudgeonliness, but there are moments when it feels like a genuine diagnosis of the postmillennial malady, a scary illumination of the oncoming darkness." Time - Lev Grossman (07/18/2005) "[McCarthy has shed] the murky, grand German philosophizing that bogged down the last two installments of his trilogy for a sleeker, slimmer linguistic manner and a darting movie-ready narrative that rips along like hell on wheels because it has no desire to break new ground, only to burn rubber on hard-packed old ground....Such sinister high hokum might be ridiculous if McCarthy didn't keep it moving faster than the reader can pause to think about it." New York Times Book Review - Walter Kirn (07/26/2005)
