No Country for Old Men

No Country for Old Men (2005) by Cormac McCarthy. By turns elegiac and violent, this book is a real page-turner. Llewelyn Moss, a man in his 30s, is hunting antelope one day when he happens across a scene of grusome carnage. Several men have been shot dead, there is a large quantity of heroin, and over two million dollars in cash. When he decides to take the cash, he sets off a series of events that resemble a drug war in Texas. Grade: A-
