Murder Among Friends

A killer rewrites the agenda of a quiet Quaker conference in old Virginia. The goal was peacemaking between evangelicals and liberals. But then a rightwing televangelist turns up dead, and a gay Quaker activist is the prime suspect. Militants from all sides gather . . . and suddenly, amid old Civil War monuments, Friends are thrust onto the front lines of a deadly new kind of civil war . . . "I never suspected a Quaker mystery could be such a page turner. Great fun." -- Mark Hulbert, Publisher, Hulbert Financial Digest " . . . an intoxicating witches; brew of sexual politics and unFriendly intrigue . . . Prophetic and scary " -- Alan Pell Crawford, author, Thunder on the Right. Chuck Fager knows the territory in this novel. As a reporter he has covered many battlefields in the current "culture wars."
