The Printed Page

• My rating: Good. For the most part I enjoyed reading When the Devil Whistles. Toward the end I was reminded of the movie True Lies when Arnold Schwarzenegger climbs on to the tail of the fighter jet. It was a really decent movie right up to that point. So with When the Devil Whistles. I was really enjoying the story as Mr. Acker spins quite a yarn right up to point where Conner flies the White Knight over the docks to save Allie and the guys and to keep a lid on things until the alphabet agencies arrive. I was like ‘really, give me a break’. But all in all I found When the Devil Whistles highly entertaining. ** And I just love the cover art.

Allie Whitman and Connor Norman loved making the devils of the corporate world pay. Now, it’s their turn. And the price could be their lives.

“I didn’t have a choice. I didn’t.” That’s what Allie Whitman tells herself every night as she lies awake. Sometimes she even believes it. But mostly she knows deep down that her inability to make a hard choice has put millions of lives at risk, including her own. Now the only one who can help her is her lawyer, Connor Norman. Unfortunately, Allie’s actions have destroyed Connor’s trust in her—and may destroy much, much more.
