MudMan — James A. Hunter

PRAISE FOR MUDMAN:

“Levi Adams isn't good in social settings, but he's great at killing things. A dark tale of vengeance and redemption (with a healthy dose of ass kicking), James Hunter's MudMan is a knockdown beat-'em-up that doesn't pull any punches.” �"Domino Finn, author of the Black Magic Outlaw series

Levi Adams is a soft spoken, middle-aged Mennonite man -- at least he tries to be when he's not murdering people.

Levi's a golem, a Mudman, crafted from the muck, mire, and corpses of a World War II concentration camp -- killing is just a part of his DNA. He doesn't like it, but unfortunately he's been saddled with a divine commission to dole out judgment on those who shed innocent blood. After seventy years as a cold-blooded murder machine, however, Levi's trying to change his grisly nature. And the AA meetings and church services are helping. A little. But when he runs across a wounded girl, Sally Ryder, during one of his “hunting expeditions,” he realizes self-help may have to go on the back burner.

Someone is attempting to revive a pre-Babylonian murder god, and the road to rebirth is paved with dead bodies. Lots and lots of them.

Now, Levi must protect Ryder -- the key to an unspeakable resurrection -- and defeat a Nazi mage from Levi's murky past. But the shadowy mage holds a terrible secret about the Mudman's unorthodox birth, one offering insight into Levi's morbid compulsion for bloodshed. It's a secret Levi would pay anything to uncover: maybe even Ryder's life. If Levi isn't careful, he may end up turning into the monster he always imagined himself to be.
