John Sandford's "The Devil's Code" is his third novel in the Kidd Series. In a postscript "Author's Note" section, Sandford reveals that hacker/artist Kidd was his first "thriller anti-hero" and not his very popular Lucas Davenport. When the Davenport series started selling so well, Sandford put Kidd in storage but he kept getting requests to bring Kidd back. One very persuasive plea came from his son Ros, who knows a lot about computers himself, so Sandford told Ros he'd write another Kidd novel if Ros would help him brainstorm some ideas. The result is "The Devil's Code" and it's an excellent read.
When a friend of his is killed, Kidd doesn't buy the story about why or even how so he and LuEllen decide to investigate. As a result, both their lives and the lives of anyone who helps them are put at risk. This is another Sandford action packed, fast moving novel that is hard to put down! It didn't even matter that I didn't understand a lot of the computer "stuff." pazt
