Genre - Thriller


Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds several men shot dead, a load of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash. Taking the money , he knows, will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim’s burning car lead the local Sheriff to the carnage out in the desert. What follows is a tremendous story of the collision of love and duty set against a backdrop of spectacular violence and mayhem.

The book has been turned in to a film by the wonderful Coen Brothers and will soon be released in Australia. I have already placed it on my "Must Be Seen" list! In the meantime read the book and be mesmerised by McCarthy's superb prose.
Enjoy!
