The Last Ferry Home
When a body is found in the lock basin at Lancaster’s old ferry landing, a local book formatter turned part-time investigator is dragged into a case that reaches back through missing records, old debts and a small circle of people who know more than they should. The deeper he looks, the more the city’s ordinary routines start to look like cover for something carefully arranged.
