Spanktown Papers

By Jane Hulse

A murder. A false accusation. A deadly truth.

When a dashing coffeehouse proprietor is murdered, Sarah Barrett dives into the mystery and becomes entangled in a scandal that rocked Philadelphia during the American Revolution.

Twenty Quaker pacifists were rounded up, jailed, and banished to the wilds of Virginia for eight months. Their crime? Refusing to back the war for independence.

Were the pious men secretly funneling military secrets to the British? The Spanktown Papers are the key. But even these curious papers are steeped in mystery.

Sarah, a fearless journalist in a man's world, tangles with spies and lies to solve both mysteries, while finding love during dark and dangerous times.
