When Kiddartist, computer whiz, and professional criminal—learns of a colleague’s murder, he doesn’t buy the official story: that a jittery security guard caught the hacker raiding the files of a high-tech Texas corporation. It’s not what his friend was looking for that got him killed. It’s what he already knew. For Kidd and LuEllen, infiltrating the firm is the first move. Discovering the secrets of its devious entrepreneur is the next. But it’s more than a secretit’s a conspiracy. And it’s landed Kidd and LuEllen in the cross-hairs of an unknown assassin hellbent on conning the life out of the ultimate con artists…

"A network of computer hackers take on an unscrupulous corporation and the government with plenty of plot twists and turns, violence, and suspense. Kidd and LuEllen, amoral though they may be, are fascinating heroes you can root for when they find their backs up against the wall."

— Carolyn (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Fascinating…Crime fiction doesn’t have nearly enough droll master thieves like Kidd and his stunning partner in righteous crime, LuEllen.”

    — Los Angeles Times
  • “Good thrillers are usually character-driven, and The Devil’s Code is a good thriller.”

    — Minneapolis Star Tribune
  • “[The Devil’s Code] is action-filled and good fun.”

    — St. Petersburg Times
  • “Sandford obviously loves Kidd, taking him to humorous and / or technological extremes.”

    — Fort Worth Star-Telegram
  • “Kidd makes a welcome return in a cleverly conceived cyber-thriller…Offers a full display of its author’s many gifts. These include his clean, no-frills style, his flawless ear for dialogue, and his precise reporter’s eye for character and setting. But the most impressive aspect of The Devil’s Code—and the true heart of the book—is its convincing re-creation of the arcane world of the professional hacker. Sandford’s familiarity with that world, together with his easy mastery of abstruse technical details, enhances the narrative at every turn, lending it an air of seamless, unobtrusive authenticity.”

    — Barnes & Noble, editorial review
  • “Plenty of stirring action…Edgy and provocative…Kidd’s return [is] welcome news for Sandford fans.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Kidd is a unique protagonist whose toughness is derived not from flashing fists or big guns but from superior intellect and moral certitude. It won’t be nine years before the next Kidd novel.”

    — Booklist
  • “[A] tale of computer skullduggery on an epic scale.”

    — Kirkus Reviews
  • “Filled with great atmosphere, characters, and exceptional drama, The Devil’s Code is truly vintage Sandford.”

    — Stuart News (Florida)

    " Didn't like this book by Sandford much. It was like getting on a plane, waiting for take off, and then gathering speed simply to keep driving around the tarmac on the plane. The book simply never took off "

    " A decent example of the spy thriller genre. I don't think I'd go out of my way to read a Sandford again as his style is too herky-jerky for me. Overall, a good story, barely decently told. But, I needed a good crime fiction and it worked. "

    " It's a John Sandford novel. Very fast read, good action, and a lot of fun. The story is dated, since it involves the characters being online a lot. With their dial up acoustically coupled modems. But it's a whole lot of fun. "

    " A decent caper that fans of Sandford will enjoy. It's a quick read and the action moves swiftly enough to keep your nose in the spine. Those unfamiliar with this author are better off reading the Prey series, which is his best work. "

    " Good Sandford novel featuring Kidd & LuEllen. Exciting, fast, fun, but if you're not into computers it may not do much for you. If you are into computers it might seem dated, but I recommend it to anyone who enjoys fast paced mysteries. "
