It is 1969; Newark, NJ. Former Green Beret Jim Slate comes home from Vietnam to live a quiet, peaceful life. His wish is cruelly denied him when he is kidnapped by Michael Monzo, a local gang boss who wants to rule the entire city. To do this he must bring down his rivals. Monzo recruits an occult practitioner who can turn an ordinary man into a vicious werewolf and then control his actions by the use of a magic amulet. But to carry out this heinous plan, he needs a subject. And so Jim Slate is snatched and turned into a "Hitwolf". But Slate is no one's puppet and, despite the curse put on him, he will not be controlled. After he manages to escape his master, Slate disappears into the thousands of acres of New Jersey woodlands known as the Pine Barrens. But Monzo has no intentions of losing his pet killing machine. Now the manhunt begins to capture Jim Slate...dead or alive!

This book, based in the Vietnam War era, pulls us into the slimy underworld of the New Jersey mafia and the ongoing war between two of the mob families, run by Michael Monzo and Martin "Mardi Gras" Stubbs, respectively. But that's not all - Stubbs has gotten hold of a werewolf that he uses to kill his enemies. His werewolf bites one of Monzo's men, making him a werewolf too.Enter John Slate, former mercenary and current construction worker, who happens to be in the same dive bar with Monzo and Pegg, the wizard who controls werewolves with an amulet. A biker gang comes in and starts a fight, and Monzo is so impressed with Slate's fighting skills that he kidnaps him and turns him into a werewolf to add to his arsenal.
The mob wars escalate with the addition of werewolves, needless to say. Slate is a little too smart to be held captive for long though.
Although this is not the type of book I would normally pick up, I can truly say that I read it from cover to cover in practically one sitting. There is a lot of gory violence, but since it is fantasy it didn't really bother me as it might in another genre. The characters are interesting and well-developed, and the story moves along at a rapid pace with a cool ending. This book will not disappoint!

Hitwolf (Audible Audio Edition) Fred Adams Jr Alex Beckham RadioArchivescom Books Reviews
Thinking back, I hesitated over giving 5 stars or 4 stars but I lean more toward having loved the book than just liked it. Intense and fast paced and quite interesting, great cultural wisecracks. Spartan writing to the point of one and two word sentences, but well used and placed. The only thing that I wasn't too keen on is a few times it seemed like there were a few too many characters and I became confused and had to go back a page or two and reread.
Slate reminded me of Jack Reacher, only I liked Slate better, another reason to go with five stars. Reacher got on my nerves pretty quickly as he seemed too prone to gratuitous violence just for the shock value. The violence in Hitwolf seemed more justified and was at times even more fantastical and brutal, but was just more fun. And yes, I will admit to being a little squeamish and skipping over gruesome details occasionally. Overall, a most enjoyable dose of pulp with a creatively dark premise.
This is another great read!! Easy-to-follow plot, well written, and relatable characters make it easy for the readers to fall headfirst into the Hitwolf series!
Imagine this... a group of Mobsters, an ex- military man, and a wizard all meet up. Nothing good can come of that, right?
As the title implies, the Mob is looking for a new killer... so they make one. A werewolf, theoretically, would be the perfect hitman, what with superhuman strength, night eyesight, etc. But that's only IF you can control the wolf...
I can't even explain how awesome this is! It's the story I never knew I wanted to read!
Very much enjoyed this read. It was fun and very well written. Will be recommending this. Thank you to the author for a unique story!
