Description
Vietnam veteran Vincent Majestyk wants only to harvest his melon crop in peace, but a confrontation with a local thug—and a disastrous encounter with escaped mob hitman Frank Renda—turns his quiet life into a fight for survival. Hunted by Renda, his associates, and hired gunmen, Majestyk must rely on his toughness, resourcefulness, and hard-won instincts to protect his land and the people who depend on him. Set against the stark landscape of the rural Southwest, this lean, darkly comic thriller explores independence, violence, and the collision between an ordinary working man and the criminal underworld. With sharp dialogue, vivid characterizations, and unsentimental suspense, it exemplifies Elmore Leonard’s distinctive crime-fiction style.
