The Fool's Run

Part of Kidd

Look inside
John Sandford, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Prey novels, gives suspense an ingenious twist as he takes readers into the mind games of two irresistible con artists plotting the perfect sting…

Kidd is a computer whiz, artist, and professional criminal. LuEllen is his lover, and his favorite partner in crime. Their playing field in on the cutting edge of high-tech corporate warfare. This time they’ve been hired by a defense industry corporation to destroy its business rival through computer sabotage. If Kidd and LuEllen can pull it off, they’ll reap millions. It’s the sting of a lifetime. One false move and it’s a lifetime sentence.

As the takedown unfolds, everything goes according to plan. But their string of successes turns into a noose when the ultimate con artists find themselves on the wrong end of the ultimate con.
