The Counselor

Resumen del libro

From Pultizer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy: The Counselor, dark and full of suspense-and soon to be a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender-follows a respected lawyer who, on the eve of becoming a married man, makes a risky entrée into the drug trade and quickly gets in over his head.

The unforgiving terrain of the Texas-Mexico border has lent itself to McCarthy's grittiest works in the past, and in The Counselor, it delivers once again. In these pages, 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.
