5Dealing with the Devil is a story of ordinary police officers becoming the heroes that they are. However, just as an artist emphasizes white by laying it on a black background, the author contrasts the very good with the very bad. The antagonist is a psychopathic hired killer, the worst of characters from the depths of a vivid imagination. But the author is also a father and a grandfather, and to him, the worst person imaginable would be someone who preys on our kids. ""Even though this isn't a genre I typically read, I couldn't put it down Well, more accurately, since I read it on my computer, I couldn't turn it off, I've been glued to my screen all afternoon I even ate my dinner here "" * -- Joanne, Carleton Place Writers Group ""You have a cracker of a novel in there."" * -- Jeanne, Carleton Place Writers Group ""The first novel by Wayne, a neighbor and locally based writer, is well crafted and cleverly plotted, definitely a page-turner. The subplots in Dealing with the Devil will leave his readers waiting for his next novel."" * -- Mike Selig, Retired High School Principal
