Produktbeschreibung
Dealing 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

Autorenporträt
Wayne Herrgott has written thousands of articles but this is his first novel. His early life is a study in contradictions. He dropped out of grade 9, but completed a BSc in Oceanography and then he worked as an engineer. He bought his first car before he was allowed to drive. He tried to join the Canadian Army when he was fifteen but was rejected because of his age. He joined the RCAF at 17, and although he was often in trouble as a young airman in the '60s, he retired as a major in the '80s. He was young enough to take a second career and become a site manager for construction of major power plants in places like Peru, Venezuela, Korea, Dominican Republic, Thailand, Indonesia, almost every state in the USA, but only two jobs in his home of Canada. He is married with two daughters and three grandsons. He lives in Perth, Ontario.
