Llewelyn Moss is hunting antelope near the Texas/Mexico border when he stumbles upon several dead men, a big stash of heroin, and more than two million dollars in cash. He takes off with the money--and the hunter becomes the hunted. A drug cartel hires a former Special Forces agent to track down the loot, and a ruthless killer joins the chase as well. Also looking for Moss is the aging Sheriff Bell, a World War II veteran who may be Moss' only hope for survival.
There is a lot of Racism in this book that can't be explained as part of the plot. There are things done really well, live capturing the vernacular of a place, but I'd have trouble recommending this one.
Экранизация оказывается достаточно буквальная (только позже прочитал, что она намеренно писалась как материал для экранизации) ровно до того момента, когда абсолютно нет и книга продолжается и продолжается дальше финала фильма. Окей!
