For those who have just seen the critically acclaimed masterpiece from the Coen Brothers, we would like to tell you that we have the book that this film was based on in our library. It's written by Cormac McCarthy and the book is equally as good as the film.
For the uninitiated;
Llewlyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, 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?"
