When I read this book I kept thinking this book reminds me of the Bruce Willis movie Last Man Standing. Then I find out that movie was a remake of a Japanese movie called Yojimbo, which is based on Res Harvest. Have no fear though, this book is heaps better than that plotless movie. This book is full of gritty and complex side plots, red herrings, greed and corruption.
The unnamed main character is brought into Poisonville to clean up the town from all the gangsters and corruption. Pinning one against the other the protagonist begins to enjoy this a little too much. The gangsters been played against each other can only result in one thing; a blood bath; a red harvest.
