The Hunted is a 1977 crime novel written by Elmore Leonard. [1] [ non-primary source needed ]
Al Rosen stuck his neck out to help the Detroit government put some goons in prison, but it didn't go according to plan. He is living in Israel off the checks sent his way by the company he helped found. The checks are brought to him by the untrustworthy, sleazy lawyer Mel Bandy. Rosen spends his days hanging out in hotel lobbies, getting sun, and simply staying out of sight. But one fateful night, there's a hotel fire that draws the attention of the media, and Rosen gets photographed and ends up with his face in the Detroit Free Press. Now Rosen's enemies know where he is, and they immediately descend on the Holy Land to kill him. Sgt. David Davis is about to finish his tour with the Marines. The big problem is that he has no idea what to do with himself once he is out. Now Rosen is on the run in Israel, with three killers and a sleazy lawyer on his tail, and a U.S. Marine for company. Can this Vietnam vet U.S. Marine keep Rosen safe...?
