Elmore Leonard: Mr. Majestyk (USA 2012)

From the Publisher:
Vincent Majestyk saw too much death in the jungles of Southeast Asia. All he wants to do now is farm his melons and forget. But peace can be an elusive commodity, even in the Arizona hinterlands -- and especially when the local mob is calling all the shots. And one quiet, proud man's refusal to be strong-armed by a powerful hood is about to start a violent chain reaction that will leave Mr. Majestyk ruined, in shackles, and without a friend in the world -- except for one tough and beautiful woman. But his tormentors never realized something about their mark: this is not his first war. Vince Majestyk knows more than they'll ever know about survival... and everything about revenge

Vietnam veteran Vincent Majestyk had his belly-full of killing in Asia. It was his job and he was one of the best, but when he stripped off his uniform he never wanted to go back to it.

Now he works under the open skies of the American Southwest, growing melons on his farm, where nobody knows about his past. And that is why a cheap crook named Kopas, a hard-named cop named McAllen, and a big-time hit man named Renda all figured Majestyk was another local yokel to be pushed around.

It looks like Majestyk is about to go to war again.

MR. MAJESTYK
BITTER HARVEST
Once, Vincent Majestyk crashed through a jungle with an M-15 and a sack of grenades. Now he works under the open skies of the American Southwest, growing melons on his farm. But a strong-arming punk came to Majestyk's fields and set off a violent chain reaction that left Majestyk without a friend in the world -- except for one tough, beautiful woman. Heading to prison, Majestyk finds himself shackled beside a notorious Mafia hit man. And now a man who's been searching for peace and a man who's been looking for an angle are about to be set free by a violent breakout: making the farmer and the hit man each other's only hope -- and worst possible enemy.

Mr. Majestyk is vintage Leonard, an edgy, dark, fiendishly compelling tale of a quiet man -- making a whole lot of noise...

Elmore Leonard: Mr. Majestyk (USA 1986)

From the Publisher:
L I M I T S...
Vincent Majestyk had had enough -- enough fighting, enough war, enough death. He knew too well the feel of the recoil, the sight of a human target falling. That's why, when he took off his uniform and became a civilian, he swore he would never kill again. He bought some land and became a farmer, raising melons. Majestyk was at peace with himself and the world, and no one knew about his past.

That's why they thought he was an easy mark. That's why the Mob thought they could tell him who to hire, why a bullying cop thought he could be pushed around, and why a beautiful woman told him to run.

No one realized that even a peace-loving man had his limits. Mr. Majestyk had been pushed to his -- and the killer within him awoke, prepared to go to war again.

"Leonard's uncanny sense of plot, pace, and his inexhaustible flair for the nervous rhythms of contemporary speech have caught the spirit of the '80s... Leonard is a superb craftsman and his writing is pure pleasure." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review

That was why he was a melon farmer now, out where nobody knew about his past. And that was why a cheap crook named Kopas, a hard-nosed cop named McAllen, and a big-time, high-priced hit man named Renda all figured Majestyk was another local yokel to be pushed around.
