Accountant Allie Whitman leads a secret life, one that is lucrative but potentially dangerous. Working with attorney Connor Norman, she operates as a corporate whistle-blower, uncovering financial fraud in companies with government contracts. Allie uncovers one fraud for which the perpetrators are willing to do anything to keep their misdeeds hidden, up to and including making witnesses disappear. Can Allie, who has secrets even Norman doesn't know about, blow the whistle on this latest company's secrets while protecting her own?

Right from the beginning, there's a lot going on. It almost felt like too much. But once all the pieces are laid out and the puzzle starts coming together, WHEN THE DEVIL WHISTLES is a page-turning read. Rick Acker, a real-life deputy attorney general specializing in fraud, does a great job building up the suspense, revealing the damning evidence (and the danger to Allie) bit by bit. The relationship between Allie and Connor is multi-layered, very much business but with hints of romance and flashes of faith, adding yet another level of suspense to an already taut tale. The prose is not stellar but certainly serviceable, resulting in a likable addition to the Christian suspense genre.
