The A'lle Mutation: An A'lle Chronicles Mystery – Book 2
In the early 1700s, 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.
Two months after the events in Backli's Ford, Constance A'lle, first A'lle investigator for Lower Canada, and Chief Investigator Desautel still haven't identified the cabal responsible for the kidnapping and murder of so many A'lle.
While they pursue their investigation in Montreal, Constance is sidetracked by family and the threat of an epidemic—an epidemic for which the immune A'lle might be responsible, intensifying the already simmering human resentment against the A'lle.
With A'lle and human hostility spiking, Constance and Desautel must navigate the increasingly brittle peace to find the head of the cabal threatening the A'lle in Lower Canada and keep their own fragile trust from shattering.
Set in 1912, Epidemic follows Constance A'lle and Chief Investigator Desautel as they navigate the fraught relationship between humans and A'lle while trying to find those responsible for the deaths of so many A'lle.

REVIEWS FOR THE A'LLE MURDERS (formerly Backli's Ford):
"I read this wonderfully written tale and thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is a good murder mystery, tinged with aliens who crashed on Earth a couple hundred years before and have integrated about as well as any sort of alien will."
"I'll have to try some of her other stories."
"Some of the best writing I've read in a while."
"Definitely a writer worth following."
"I greatly enjoyed this tale of detective work by an alien detective only slowly learning to trust (and be trusted by) her associates."
