The Fate of Mercy Alban by Wendy Webb

The Fate of Mercy Alban by Wendy Webb

From award-winning novelist Wendy Webb comes a spine-tingling, modern-day haunted house story set on Lake Superior. Grace Alban has spent twenty years away from her childhood home, the stately Alban House on the shores of Lake Superior--for reasons she would rather forget. But when her mother's unexpected death brings Grace and her teenage daughter home, she finds more than just her own personal demons haunting the halls and passageways of Alban House. Long-buried family secrets, a packet of old love letters, and a lost manuscript plunge Grace into a decades-old mystery about a scandalous party at Alban House during which a world-famous author took his own life and Grace's aunt disappeared without a trace. That night has been shrouded in secrecy by the powerful Alban family for all of these years, and Grace realizes her family secrets tangle and twist as darkly as the hidden passages of Alban House. Her mother was intending to tell the truth about that night to a reporter on the very day she died. Could it have been murder, or was she a victim of the supposed Alban curse? With the help of the disarmingly kind--and attractive--Reverend Matthew Parker, Grace must uncover the truth about her home and its curse before she and her daughter become the next victims. Wendy Webb has woven a suspenseful mystery that skillfully skirts the boundary between what is paranormal and what is psychological.

The Story of Halcyon Crane, Wendy Webb's debut novel, won the Minnesota Book Award for genre fiction in 2011 and was named an IndieNext Selection by the Independent Booksellers Association, a Midwest Connections Pick by the Midwest Booksellers Association, and a Great Lakes, Great Reads Pick by the Great Lakes Independent Booksellers Association. She and her Alaskan Malamute, Molly, live in northern Minnesota with her husband, photographer Steve Burmeister. She's now working on her next book.
