No country for old men

No Country for Old Men is a novel set in West Texas in 1980. A man hunting antelope comes across the remains of a drug deal gone wrong and takes a case of money, setting off a pursuit by a relentless killer. Alongside this runs the voice of an aging local sheriff, who reflects on a world that seems to be growing harder to understand. The book combines the pace of a crime story with a meditation on violence, chance and conscience, and it was later made into an acclaimed film.
