Product Description
Product Description
When the cops of Longstreet, Mississippi see a black boy running away from them and clutching something in his hand, there's only one thought in their minds - bag-snatcher. So they shoot him in the back. Except, Darrell Clark isn't a thief, he's a computer-crazy fourteen-year-old, who was running home before his ice-cream melted. And now he's dead. When the predictable police cover-up begins, Darrell's friend, Marvel Atkins, decides it's time for the corrupt city government to go. Using Darrell's computer, she contacts the only two con artists with the nerve to take on a whole city: Kidd, computer-hacker extraordinaire, and his partner and some-time lover, Lu-Ellen. To pull this off, the sting has to be perfect. And it will be, because if Kidd knows one thing, it's this: a corrupt city regime is about as stable as a house of cards. All he has to know is where to push...

If you like computer mysteries, this book is for you. It's amazing the things that these two characters, Kidd and LuEllen, go through just to hack a computer. John Sandford demonstrates in his "Prey" series that he's a good suspense writer. In this book and the previous one in the series, The Fool's Run, he also shows he has a great sense of humor. Thanks for a fast, fun and intelligent read!

A corrupt town in the American South, corrupt officials and a community out for revenge. Twists and turns throughout, double dealing and violence make for a great story

This author is very talented. Kidd and LuEllen are back in the saddle again (read The Fool's Run first). The plot was well thought out and consistent. The action keeps drawing the reader along. Hopefully, there will be more of this series (can two books make a series?). More of a con game than a mystery thriller, this book and the Fool's Run are just as good as the Prey series. Encore.
