Description
From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road—in this screenplay of the major motion picture, the Counselor makes a risky entrée into the drug trade, on the eve of becoming a married man, and gambles that the consequences won’t catch up to him.
Along the gritty terrain of the Texas–Mexico border, a respected and recently engaged lawyer throws his stakes into a cocaine trade worth millions. His hope is that it will be a one-time deal and that, afterward, he can settle into life with his beloved fiancée. But instead, the Counselor finds himself mired in a brutal and dangerous game—one that threatens to destroy everything and everyone he loves. Deft, shocking, and unforgettable, McCarthy is at his finest in this gripping tale about risk, consequence, and the treacherous balance between the two.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
Reviews
Thin and Watery
1By Cu5terIf you are expecting one of McCarthy's novels composed of rich prose and haunting imagery you will be sorely disappointed. This is a terse, disjointed screen play that can be read in less than two hours. I cannot imagine a full-length motion picture being made from this.Rip Off
1By Brian51500This is not a book but a screen play. I had no idea when I made purchase.
