The Last Ferry Home
When a quiet ferry route between Southampton and the Isle of Wight is threatened by closure, local archivist Mara Bell starts helping to sort old records in the harbour office. She finds a decades-old logbook that points to a missing passenger and a death everyone assumed was an accident. As the past and present begin to overlap, Mara has to untangle what really happened before the ferry line disappears for good.
