26 of Our Favorite Thriller Books That Were Turned Into Movies

Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men became an Oscar-nominated film in 2007, but it was already a beautiful, nerve-racking novel. Set on the Mexico-Texas border, the book hinges on the decision of one man to keep a large sum of money he discovers in a dead man's truck. This one choice puts him on the radar of a deadly killer and an aging sheriff who is becoming increasingly disillusioned with the world.
