Llewelyn Moss er på antilopejakt ved grenseområdet til Rio Grande. Hjemme venter hans unge kone. Han finner ikke bare antilope, men flere døde menn, en koffert full av heroin og en veske full av penger. Moss og hans uskyldige kone ligger tynt an. Sheriffen, Bell, gjør alt han kan for å hjelpe dem, han skjønner at de begge trenger beskyttelse. Bell er en kompleks figur, og romanen rommer også hans personlige fortelling.

You think when you wake up in the mornin yesterday dont count. But yesterday is all that does count. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it's made out of. Nothin else.
I wake up sometimes way in the night and I know as certain as death that there aint nothin short of the second comin of Christ that can slow this train. I dont know what is the use of me layin awake over it. But I do.
It's not about knowing where you are. It's about thinking you get there without takin anything with you. Your notions about startin over. Or anybody's. You don't start over. That's what it's about. Every step you take is forever. You can't make it go away. None of it.
People complain about the bad things that happen to em that they dont deserve but they seldom mention the good. About what they done to deserve them things. I dont recall that I ever give the good Lord all that much cause to smile on me. But he did.
His whole life was sitting there in front of him. Day after day from dawn till dark until he was dead. All of it cooked down into forty pounds of paper in a satchel.
Somewhere out there is a true and living prophet of destruction and I dont want to confront him. I know he's real. I have seen his work. I walked in front of those eyes once. I wont do it again.
