Ghosts of Morocco now available!

Posted on by

Ghosts of Morocco is now up! It’s available as an ebook everywhere ebooks are sold, and will be available as a trade paperback in a couple of weeks. This one’s a bit of a departure for me — all my mystery novels in the past five years have been set in the Mendenhall world. This one is set in Morocco and the Yukon, and is not part of a series.

Here’s the back cover blurb, in case you don’t have a magnifying glass:

Fifteen years after a traumatic event in Morocco, Hope Adler has reinvented herself as a cautious, dependable businesswoman back home in Canada. No more impulsiveness. No more risks. No more Wild Child. But when Meddur, the young son of her Moroccan friend, lands on her doorstep, running from murderous Berber radicals, she must reach deep into her past and bring back the Wild Child, because that’s the only way she and Meddur will get out of this alive.

Just as she thinks she’s found a safe place to hide the boy, Sam Walker, the bane of her youth in Morocco, suddenly appears. Can she trust him to help her keep Meddur safe? Or is he working with the radicals?

In a departure from her Mendenhall Mysteries series, Marcelle Dubé’s Ghosts of Morocco is a standalone novel featuring Hope Adler, a woman tormented by her past and willing to do anything to make amends. Ghosts of Morocco is a wild, exotic ride from the sands of Morocco to the deep snows of the Yukon.

Ebook: $6.99           Trade Paperback: $17.99

Ghosts of Morocco… coming soon

The cover for my upcoming release, Ghosts of Morocco, is now available! I think it’ll be available by the end of the month. Here’s the back cover blurb:

Lincoln City Blues–an excerpt

Lincoln City Blues

“Marcelle is one of the most charming mystery writers I know. She writes deceptively quiet stories that have a real bite to them.” —Kristine Kathryn Rusch

When a beautiful woman walks into the office of Anastasia Charles — aka Charlie — with a story about a violent husband and a kidnapped kid, Charlie’s private investigator instincts sit up and pay attention. With $2000 on her desk, $8000 more the moment she finds the husband, and the chance to be a hero and rescue a kid… how can Charlie say no?

 

 LINCOLN CITY BLUES

by Marcelle Dubé

Were I a lesser woman, Georgette Havanah might have made me reconsider my lifelong appreciation of men.

As it was, the moment she walked into my office — A. Charles, Private Investigator — I felt shorter, rounder and shabbier.

She was gorgeous, in case you didn’t catch that. The kind of long-legged, high-heeled, high-breasted dusky beauty that made fools out of most men and intimidated the spit out of most women. She exuded sensuality the way I exude garlic after a Caesar salad.

She shifted in the hard-backed chair I provided for my clients — what few I had — and the red skirt of her Spangoli suit crept up to reveal a little more of her firm thigh.

Georgette Havanah — “Call me Georgie, please” — definitely did not live in Lincoln City. I would have noticed. Hell, everyone would have noticed. The small Oregon town I’d chosen as my new home ran more to business casual than high fashion.

“How do you know your husband is here?” I asked.

She’d made an appointment yesterday, insisting she needed to see me as soon as possible. Well, my day planner wasn’t exactly bursting at the seams so I said sure.

Now I wasn’t. So sure, I mean.

“He is here,” said Georgie.

I wanted to insist on an explanation, but the envelope on my desk stared back at me and told me to shut up.

Nice while it lasted…

The Tuxedoed Man is no longer free. On some platforms, anyway, and soon on all of them. All is not lost, however. Falcon Ridge Publishing has decided to price it at $2.99 instead of the regular $5.99, in honour of the recent release of The Untethered Woman, the fourth in my Mendenhall Mystery series. So even if you can’t get Tuxedoed for free, you can still get it at a promotional price. Not a bad deal.
