Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot dead, a load of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash. Packing the money out, he knows, will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim's burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the carnage out in the desert, and he soon realizes how desperately Moss and his young wife need protection. One party in the failed transaction hires an ex-Special Forces officer to defend his interests against a mesmerizing freelancer, while on either side are men accustomed to spectacular violence and mayhem. The pursuit stretches up and down and across the border, each participant seemingly determined to answer what one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? A harrowing story of a war that society is waging on itself, and an enduring meditation on the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies, No Country for Old Men is a novel of extraordinary resonance and power.

Allegorisch voor de hebzucht die we kunnen voelen in het leven. De hoofdpersonen krijgen te maken met een Mammon cq psychopaat in hun leven. Prachtig geschreven, diepgravend ook. Perfect voorgelezen. Een aanrader!

Biblical thriller by a fine writer, narrated by a pro. Apparently Shigurh, the movie version (who is not so different from this story's) was once elected by psychiatric experts to be the most convincing, true-to-life serial killer of cinema. And he's still out there...

Not my cup of tea. On top of that it took me quite a long time to figure out what was going on.
