"This book kept me gripped the entire time, and read quickly. I like that whether I had 5 minutes or an hour to read, I got a good story chunk out of it. The entire time I read the book I thought about how it could be a movie. There's not too many characters to keep track of, but enough twists and turns to keep your mind guessing."

— Ricardo, 11/15/2013" I really enjoy the Kidd books. This was an exceptional one if you're a computer geek. "
— Kevin, 11/13/2013" I liked this one better than Night Crew which I finished Sunday, also by Sandford. This one had a tighter story with more suspense. Being a technothriller, it was funny how dated the technology is in it even only being 6 years old. Good light read though. "
— Jake, 10/23/2013" Information about Hacker culture. "
— Pattykaykar, 6/30/2013" A refreshingly hot action thriller with super computer hacker Kidd and his partner LuEllen. They are going to get revenge on a murder and kidnapping in the muggy Mississippi country roads. "
— Mick, 5/3/2013" I had not previously read the Kidd novel's by this author. I plan on reading others in the series. The main character is a thief, painter, and political consultant whose forte is cyber work. Plot involves government in 1984 scenario. Lots of action throughout the book. "

— Laurie, 2/14/2011" not that good. Lots of interesting techie talk and a few fandom murders. yawn-ish. "
— Lynne, 11/15/2010" Another of Sanford's characters, Kidd, and his cohort, LuEllen, find themselves dealing with politicians in the world of computers and murder. You can't beat Sanford! "
— Kathleen, 10/24/2010" Computer hacker mystery that keeps you guessing and teaches you how vunerable you are because our lives really are "on-line". "
— Jami, 9/29/2010" I liked this one better than Night Crew which I finished Sunday, also by Sandford. This one had a tighter story with more suspense. Being a technothriller, it was funny how dated the technology is in it even only being 6 years old. Good light read though. "
— Jake, 6/18/2010" In enjoyed the Kidd and LuEllen series, though they now come across as dated. I wouldn't at all mind it if Sandford resurrected these characters, but then he's got his hands full with Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers. "
— Jim, 5/22/2010" Really enjoyed Sandford bringing back Kidd and Luellen- been too many years. "
— Debbie, 3/18/2010" Sandford has a minor series that revolves around the cards in a Tarot deck. <br/> <br/>This is the best in that series. <br/> <br/>Some of his standalone novels are great also. "
— Steven, 3/2/2010" This is the last of the Kidd novels. It is always exciting to see Kidd, LuEllen, John and Marvel work togther. The villain is much more sadistic than usual and the crime is far more heinous. Fast, fun read. "
— Mukta, 12/18/2009" Did not like the characters "
