The Hoy Ferry
(2026)(The fifth book in the Freya Tulloch Orkney Mystery series)
A novel by Phillip Strang
The first ferry from Stromness to Hoy is a small, practical service. The ferryman knows every face.
This morning, there is only one passenger. She has no ticket. He never saw her board.
She has been dead for thirty‑six hours.
Jean Isbister left Hoy twenty years ago and never meant to return. Three days ago, she came back to the croft she inherited from her uncle — and found what he had kept for her: a record of the event that drove her off the island, and the names of the people responsible. Those people are still on Hoy. They built their lives on the assumption that Jean Isbister would stay gone. She didn’t. She gave them the chance to put things right.
DI Freya Tulloch knows the water, but not this island. Constable Billy Flett does. Hoy is his place, his people, his history. For the first time in the investigation, Freya follows.
The Hoy Ferry is the fifth Freya Tulloch Orkney Mystery — quiet, exact, and set on the most dramatic island in an archipelago that has never lacked for drama.
Genre: Mystery
