Considered one of Leonard's best westerns, this classic tale of honor and justice is available once again. Civil War veteran Paul Cable finds things have changed in Arizona since he left and joined the Confederacy. Two brothers--Union men--have claimed his spread, leaving Cable and his family no place to settle in peace. It seems the war's not over yet for Cable--but no one's going to take away his land and his future.
This is the way I love it. Badass and smart and punchy and good. As far as I’m concerned, Elmore Leonard should write as many blistering standoffs as he can between quiet, haunted men who are more suited as friends than enemies and I will read them forever.
