At the urging of an old friend, devout Quaker Elizabeth Elliot travels far from her peaceful New England home to visit a town simmering with the deadly fallout of a government cover-up. Reba Nichols, Elizabeth's ex-college roommate, is convinced that a region of central Washington State is contaminated with radiation from the Hanford nuclear plant. Counting on Elizabeth for support, Reba sets out to gather some damning evidence. But to Elizabeth's horror, Reba's zealous search for the truth quickly reaps a grim reward-murder. Swept up in a deadly confrontation with the darkest side of human nature, Elizabeth's Quaker ethics are put to the ultimate test.

To Brother Cadfael and Father Brown, add Elizabeth Elliot to the ranks of amateur sleuths with God on their side. Elliot, the creation of author Irene Allen, is an elderly woman with devout Quaker beliefs. In Quaker Indictment, the fourth in the series, Elizabeth leaves her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to visit an old college friend in Seattle--and to help her gather evidence proving that a nuclear facility in the area is leeching radioactive material into the land. When her friend ends up murdered, Elliot joins forces with a mutual acquaintance to solve the mystery, but soon finds herself up against a government agency run amok. Despite murder, arson, and close calls galore, Elizabeth Elliot's strong faith carries her through to the satisfying denouement.

"A fast-paced, action-packed who-done-it." --The Midwest Book Review
"One of the most endearing detectives of recent years." --San Francisco Chronicle
