Le chant maléfique
Out of stock
What sinister creature haunts the Vendée countryside? What is the meaning of this evil song that rings out at night to announce strange deaths? As the victims are legitimists, some see the hand of Louis-Philippe's spies, who are seeking to prevent the return of the elder branch of the Bourbons to the French throne. Others mention the aloubi, the devil's ferryman who glides across the marshes in his misty boat, unless it is a curse from across the seas, carried out by the worshippers of a mysterious goddess? Rumor or reality? Who to believe? Inspector Valentin Verne leaves the Parisian underworld for a Vendée on the brink of insurrection, leaving Aglaé grappling with an investigation that is far more complex than it appears.
Quelle créature funeste hante le bocage vendéen ? Que signifie ce chant maléfique qui retentit la nuit pour annoncer de singuliers trépas ? Les victimes étant des légitimistes, certains y voient la main des espions de Louis-Philippe, qui cherchent à empêcher le retour de la branche aînée des Bourbons sur le trône de France. D’autres évoquent l’aloubi, ce passeur du diable qui glisse sur les marais dans sa barque de brume, à moins qu’il ne s’agisse d’une malédiction venue d’au-delà des mers, dont les exécutants seraient les adorateurs d’une mystérieuse déesse ?... Rumeur ou réalité ? Qui croire ? L’inspecteur Valentin Verne quitte les bas-fonds parisiens pour une Vendée au bord de l’insurrection, laissant Aglaé aux prises avec une enquête bien plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
