New York, NY: Mariner Books (September 30, 2025)

First Edition. Hardback.

As new.

The first major release in nearly a decade from the late New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard: the never-before-published story of a budding agricultural strike in Texas, the racial tension brewing in the fields, and what happens when brutality from “the man” goes unchecked.

“If a man comes out of the field and goes on the picket line, even for one day, he’ll never be the same...”

Chino and Paco Rojas seem well-mannered, at least for Chicanos, to the white cops that pull them over for littering on the long drive from California to Trinity, Texas. So well-mannered, in fact, that Captain Frank McKellan lets them off with a warning and recommends them a job at Stanzik Farms, the largest independent melon grower in the area. But Chino and Paco didn’t drive all this way for work. Instead, Chino is looking for a mysterious man, Vincent Mora, whose new Valley Agricultural Workers Association is causing a scene striking against the farm owners.
