The Counselor (Movie Tie-in Edition): A Screenplay (Vintage International)

On the eve of becoming a married man, the Counselor makes a risky entrÃ©e into the drug tradeâ€”and gambles that the consequences wonâ€™t catch up to him.
Â
Along the gritty terrain of the Texasâ€“Mexico border, a respected and recently engaged lawyer throws his stakes into a cocaine trade worth millions. His hope is that it will be a one-time deal and that, afterward, he can settle into life with his beloved fiancÃ©e. But instead, the Counselor finds himself mired in a brutal and dangerous gameâ€”one that threatens to destroy everything and everyone he loves. Deft, shocking, and unforgettable, McCarthy is at his finest in this gripping tale about risk, consequence, and the treacherous balance between the two.
