Beat the Reaper

I took a break from my current ginormous epic fantasy series to read this book I got for Christmas. Read this one fast. Cross an ex-hitman with a doctor to get the main character. Alternating flashback with how he got where he is with his current dire predicament makes for a bloody, fun ride. There's a fairly impressive body count and a good supply of gallows humor. Good stuff. I hope the author brings this anti-hero back for another round.
