NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN - CORMAC MCCARTHY TASCHE...

In his blistering new novel  Cormac McCarthy returns to the Texas-Mexico border  setting of his
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.
