The Scapa Diver
(2026)(The second book in the Freya Tulloch Orkney Mystery series)
A novel by Phillip Strang
A diver is found on a Hoy beach in his working clothes, above the tideline. The tide didn’t put him there.
Detective Inspector Freya Tulloch knows Scapa Flow the way she knows everything in Orkney — from the shore, looking out. But this case drags her onto the water and into the past.
Inside the wreck of a German battleship, the diver recovered a waterproof container sealed for eighty years. Inside it: seven documents that answer the question the Royal Oak’s eight hundred and thirty‑three dead have never stopped asking.
Someone in Orkney helped U‑47 slip through Kirk Sound in 1939. The name on the documents is Malcolm Clouston — grandfather of a respected local solicitor whose family practice depends on the island’s trust.
The diver found the truth. He was careful about it. He was not careful enough.
The Scapa Diver is the second Freya Tulloch Orkney Mystery — quiet, dark, and steeped in the weight of a small island community living alongside a history it cannot put down.
Genre: Mystery
