The Devil's Code
Before Lucas Davenport, there was Kidd — artist, computer whiz, and professional criminal — and his sometime partner / sometime lover LuEllen. The Army left Kidd with a dislike for bureaucracy and the skills to do something about it, but it didn't prepare him for the day a woman would call and tell him his colleague Jack Morrison was dead. Jack was supposedly killed by a jittery security guard who caught him raiding a company's files in the middle of the night, but that story just doesn't sit right with Kidd. The more he investigates the company and its ambitious owner, the more convinced he becomes that Jack stumbled onto something that got him murdered. And that unless he and LuEllen got to the bottom of it all quickly, the next bodies might very well be their own...

John Sandford
John Sandford writes crime fiction that moves with the restless energy of the streets it describes. His novels are known for their sharp observation, moral tension, and an unsettling closeness to real violence, the kind that feels sudden and personal rather than theatrical. Long before his books filled bestseller lists, Sandford trained his eye as a journalist, learning how to notice the small, telling details that reveal who people really are under pressure. That background still shapes his fiction, where every scene feels grounded in lived experience.
Kidd
