Perry Adams, failed academic turned mailman, suddenly finds himself caught in a web of sex, a million-dollar mail theft, a congressional fraud investigation - and murder. Can Lemuel Penn, a plain Quaker apple grower, rescue him? And can Penn do it without applying some distinctly Un-Friendly Persuasion? "I warmly recommend this book to all our readers who like history with their mystery." -Mystery Books, Bryn Mawr PA "You might be exasperated by this concept, or curious about the plot or thoughtful about the issues raised here. But once you've begun, this is a difficult book to put down." -The Canadian Friend "Yo anyone who knows their 300-year old tradition of rejecting violence, the term 'a Quaker mystery' is a delightful oxymoron." -The Huntsville (Alabama) News
