Great book. I can't wait to read the others in the series.
Publisher Comments:
Prey fans everywhere have embraced the return of Sandford's other charismatic hero, Kidd — artist, computer whiz, and professional criminal — and his sometime partner, sometime lover, LuEllen.
"Crime fiction doesn't have nearly enough droll master thieves like Kidd and his stunning partner in righteous crime," said the Los Angeles Times. "Fast-paced action, high-intellect puzzle-solving and dandy characters: Kidd and LuEllen have one helluva time," raved the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "With its quick plotting and clever story, The Devil's Code makes a strong case that Kidd and his pals deserve more chances to strut their stuff," wrote the Chicago Tribune.
And now here they are. In The Hanged Man's Song, a superhacker friend of Kidd's named Bobby suddenly disappears from cyberspace, and Kidd knows that isn't a good sign. Then, when he goes to Bobby's house, Kidd finds him dead on the floor, his head bashed in and his laptop missing — and Kidd knows that really isn't a good sign. The secrets on that laptop are potent enough to hang Kidd and everybody else in Bobby's circle, just to start with, so there's no question that Kidd and LuEllen have to track it down — not to mention that Kidd would dearly love to get his hands on the man who killed Bobby. But before Kidd can get very far, the secrets start coming out anyway...and they're more staggering than even he had imagined. Because it's not just about the lives of a circle of friends and colleagues now, oh no — it's about something much, much bigger. And much, much scarier...
Filled with the atmosphere, characters, and exceptional drama that have made John Sandford one of America's best-loved thriller writers, The Hanged Man's Song is a masterpiece of suspense.

Finished this weekend on my trip to Portland, OR. I enjoy the Kidd series almost as much as I love the Prey series. Sandford did a good job with this one.
