About this ebook

Book 1 of the A'lle Chronicles mystery series

 

In the early 18th century, an A'lle generation ship crashed in the woods of Lower Canada. Survivors stumbled out of the wreckage to find French settlers working the land. While many of the colonists sheltered the injured A'lle, some reacted with fear and loathing. Two centuries later, nothing much has changed.

 

This is the world Constance A'lle, first A'lle investigator for Lower Canada, must deal with when she investigates the beating death of an A'lle boy in the small village of Backli's Ford.

 

Set in 1911, The A'lle Murders follows Constance as she survives an ambush that would have killed a human, fights prejudice in the constabulary, and discovers a terrible secret that risks destroying the delicate balance that has endured for two centuries between A'lle and humans.

 

Includes the first chapter of The A'lle Mutation, Book 2 of the A'lle Chronicles mystery series.

Author

Marcelle Dube

Marcelle Dubé writes mystery, science fiction, fantasy, contemporary and—occasionally—romance fiction. She grew up near Montreal and after trying out a number of different provinces (not to mention Belgium) she settled in the Yukon, where people outnumber carnivores, but not by much. Her short stories have appeared in magazines and award-winning anthologies. Her novels include the Mendenhall Mystery series (a number of her short stories are also set in the world of Mendenhall Chief of Police Kate Williams) and The A'lle Chronicles, as well as standalone fantasy and mystery titles. Her work is available in print and in electronic format.
