The Last Ferry Home
When a young dockworker vanishes after the last ferry from Inis Oírr, the case is written off as an accident. His sister, a night-shift proofreader with a habit of noticing what other people miss, starts pulling at the small lies around the harbour and finds a much older crime hidden in plain sight.
