McCarthy, Cormac.

The Crossing.

New York: Knopf, 1994. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. This is McCarthy's second volume in his Border Trilogy. In the late 1930s, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico. With that crossing, he begins an arduous and often dreamlike journey into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikes as suddenly as heat-lightning—a world where there is no order "save that which death has put there."
