Synopsis: Una impresionante e imaginativa fábula moral acerca de la naturaleza de la violencia y la justicia.
 
Una novela épica sobre la violencia y la depravación que acompañaron a la expansión de América hacia el oeste, Meridiano de sangre subvierte espléndidamente las convenciones de la novela occidental y la mitología del “salvaje oeste”. Basada en acontecimientos históricos ocurridos en la frontera de Texas y México alrededor de 1850, traza las fortunas del Chico, un muchacho de Tennessee, que tropieza con el horrible mundo del grupo de Glanton, y su líder espiritual, el llamado juez Holden: un hombre calvo, albino, sin barba, sin pestañas, ni cejas; un hombre violento y cruel que apenas duerme y afirma que jamás morirá.
