# No Country for Old Men

**Savage violence and cruel morality reign in the backwater deserts of Cormac McCarthy's _No Country for Old Men_, a tale of one man's dark opportunity - and the darker consequences that spiral forth.  
  
Adapted for the screen by the Coen Brothers (_Fargo_, _True Grit_), winner of four Academy Awards (including Best Picture).**  
  
**'A fast, powerful read, steeped with a deep sorrow about the moral degradation of the legendary American West' - _Financial Times_**  
  
1980\. Llewelyn Moss, a Vietnam veteran, is hunting antelope near the Rio Grande when he stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice - leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything.  
  
And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?  
  
**'It's hard to think of a contemporary writer more worth reading' - _Independent_**  
  
**Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.**  
  
Praise for Cormac McCarthy:  
  
'McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute' - Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and _The Wren, The Wren_  
  
'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' - Stephen King, author of _The Shining_ and the Dark Tower series  
  
'In presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, \[McCarthy\] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' - Annie Proulx, author of _Brokeback Mountain_
