Un-Friendly Persuasion: A Quaker Mystery

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
