Knopf in 2005, No Country for Old Men is Cormac McCarthy's stark border crime drama, set along the Texas and Mexico frontier in 1980.

Taking the money sets off a relentless pursuit across the Southwest desert as Moss is hunted by Anton Chigurh, a hitman working to an uncompromising coin-toss fatalism, while aging Sheriff Ed Tom Bell follows both men and laments the moral decay of the modern world.
