No Country for Old Men

Publisher's Summary Cormac McCarthy, best-selling author of National Book Award winner All the Pretty Horses , delivers his first new novel in seven years. Written in muscular prose, No Country for Old Men is a powerful tale of the West that moves at a blistering pace. Llewelyn Moss is hunting antelope near the Texas-Mexico border when he stumbles upon several dead men, a big stash of heroin, and more than two million dollars in cash. He takes off with the money, and the hunter becomes the haunted. A drug cartel hires a former Special Forces agent to track down the loot, and a ruthless killer joins the chase as well. Also looking for Moss is the aging Sheriff Bell, a World War II veteran who may be Moss' only hope for survival. Raw and lean, No Country for Old Men is another masterpiece from one of America's acclaimed novelists. ©2005 Cormac McCarthy (P)2005 Recorded Books, LCC
