The last book in the Border trilogy. The National Book Award-winning author of The Crossing and All the Pretty Horses crafts a darkly beautiful elegy for the American frontier in this stunning new book. In 1952, John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are employed as ranch workers in New Mexico, not far from El Paso, Juarez, and the Alamogordo testing grounds. Their existence consists of horse auctions, trail excursions, and campfire storytelling. Because they realize that life is going to alter irrevocably, they cherish it much more.

The turning point occurs when John Grady develops feelings for a stunning but untalented Mexican prostitute, starting an uncontrollably violent sequence of events. Cities of the Plain is a true American epic, haunting in its beauty and full of grief, laughter, and majesty.
