Publisher's Synopsis
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN follows three major characters: Eric Newman - an idealistic academic obsessed with the truth about the death of a left-wing poet of the 1930s for his almost finished biography of the writer; Eric's old friend Nick Burns - a federal agent with no illusions; and Odette des Chavannes - a high profile investigative journalist who is always pursuing a blockbuster story. Their objective - to recover the long-lost technology that is the key to a secret weapon for psychological warfare. Their quests intertwine in a globetrotting journey from New York to Washington, Paris, Buenos Aires and Santiago, through a labyrinth of multinational power and international corruption, where rules and stakes shift constantly and adversaries wear many masks.
