Cities of the Plain

Cities of the Plain

by Cormac McCarthy

1999

In McCarthy's concluding Border Trilogy volume, ranch hands John Grady Cole and Billy Parham face a changing world in 1950s New Mexico. Their lives, once defined by the rhythms of the ranch and the open range, are irrevocably altered when John Grady falls for a troubled woman caught in the crosshairs of a brutal underworld. This tale of doomed love and desperate rescue explores the twilight of a vanishing American frontier with stark beauty and profound sorrow.
