When the Ferry Didn't Run
A Billy & Mia Mystery
When a ferry crossing is unexpectedly canceled, Billy and Mia are forced onto a narrow river road just as a storm begins to build. What starts as a routine delay quickly becomes more dangerous as rising water, lost signals, and a sudden separation leave them navigating the riverbank on their own.
Along the way, Billy and Mia notice signs that someone else has been through the woods recently, but not by choice. As conditions worsen, they face a quiet but difficult decision: keep moving toward safety, or stay and help someone who may not want to be found.
Set against a landscape shaped by weather, water, and uncertainty, When the Ferry Didn't Run is a grounded mystery about observation, responsibility, and choosing to do the right thing when no clear answers are offered.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Realistic outdoor adventures
- Mystery without graphic danger
- Thoughtful, character-driven storytelling
