Destrudo

Homeless war veteran Mark Maddox, dishonorably discharged, lives in a patch of woods beneath a highway underpass, next to a reservoir. Then things got worse. Beaten nearly to death behind a bar for no apparent reason, Mark wanted justice, if not revenge, when he survived his thrashing with scars as reminders. Denied, he went back to wanting revenge. Alone and isolated, his old patterns kick in. Experimenting with hallucinogens, the world becomes dangerous again. Dangerous enough to need to carry a gun. And to brush up on what he had been trying to unlearn. Sam Ian is a beloved, respected martial arts teacher and husband to those who think they know him. To those who really know him, he's a killing machine, and his energy is focused on the influx of hardcore criminals. He never had a student, until he met Mark Maddox. Leon Trudell beat a man to near death and got away with it. Now he lives alone in his mother's house, receiving bricks through his window and being guarded by sheriff's deputies. But he's not scared. He's horny. Porn fails and primal instinct prevails. But sex isn't enough. Trudell has particular sexual tastes, hardened by years of maladjustment and worn like a groove into an old record. Fresh out of prison, the "pangs" call out to be satisfied. Trudell made one big mistake crossing paths with Mark Maddox. His destiny has been chosen.
