All The Pretty Horses

VOLUME ONE OF "THE BORDER TRILOGY"

John Grady Cole is the last bewildered survivor of long generations of Texas ranchers. When his grandfather dies John is cut off from the only life he has ever wanted. Running off to Mexico with his pal, Lacey Rawlins, and befriending a third boy, they encounter a country beyond their imaginings; rugged, yet cruelly civilised, where dreams are paid in blood. In their search for a place that no longer exists, the boys' story is a classic adventure from the lost heart of the wild American West: an adventure that within months will leave one of them dead - the other two aged beyond any normal reckoning.
