Gray Ghost

Seven years ago, Stonewall Jackson Calhoun (Stoney) took a direct hit of lightening and woke up in a hospital with no memory. Poof! It's gone and Stoney has no hope of recovering any of his memories.

Stoney currently co-owns a bait and tackle shop in Maine (Casco Bay). When he and a client find a burned corpse on a small uninhabited island, things change for Stoney. They change even more when the client is also killed.

The local sheriff needs Stoney's help (he has some interesting talents). Stoney agrees to investigate and suddenly the investigator becomes a suspect and perhaps a 'target.'

Gray Ghost sizzles. I love the outdoor settings, the hints about Stoney's past, everything! The plot is fascinating and the characters are rich and complex. It's a fast read and I was disappointed when it ended. I want more of Stoney Calhoun.
