Description
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.
