William Penn is the nom de plume of a husband and wife writing team. After retiring from military service during which they gained first-hand knowledge of virtually all the places they describe in their novels, both authors pursued careers in state government, academe, political consulting, public relations, and journalism. Following that, they settled in Grand County, Colorado, to enjoy its myriad outdoor-sports opportunities, its scenery and the wonderful people who live there or visit. This novel, like its predecessors, The Grand Conspiracy by William Penn, The Panama Conspiracy by William Penn and The Berlin Conspiracy by William Penn, is the last in a four-novel series featuring Buck and Dolly Madison.
