The Rise of the Gray Ghost — Michael Aye

Will Lee was a surgeon...the best. He was the chief surgeon in General Bragg's Confederate Army until a Union cannonball took off his right hand. After the war, Will drowned his misery in a bottle until a chance meeting with a one-armed ship's captain changed his life. Shad, a freed slave he'd grown up with, carved Will a wooden hand. Will took the skills he'd honed as a surgeon and turned them towards a deck of cards and a pistol. When a low-life kidnapped his best friend's wife and his brother's fiancée, Will took action. He soon became known as a man to handle any situation. It was the Rise of the Gray Ghost.
