Backli's Ford

An Alle Chronicles Mystery

has the richness of place Ive come to expect from [her] work, as well as excellent characters. I couldnt put the book (or the Kindle, actually) down. Kristine Kathryn Rush, on On Her Trail

In the early 18th century, an Alle 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 Alle, some reacted with fear and loathing. Two centuries later, nothing much has changed.

This is the world Constance Alle, first Alle investigator for Lower Canada, must deal with when she investigates the beating death of an Alle boy in the small village of Backlis Ford.

Set in 1911, Backlis Ford 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 Alle and humans.
