Synopsis
Best-selling novels like Easy Prey have made John Sandford one of the world's premier writers of suspense fiction. In The Devil's Code, Sandford takes readers on a twisted run through the enigmatic world of high-tech computer security and the hackers who live beyond the fringes of both law and identity. Kidd is an artist and computer specialist who makes most of his money in less-than-legal pursuits. When a programmer friend dies under mysterious circumstances, Kidd sees no reason to get involved-until his hacker code name starts showing up on government most-wanted lists. Reluctantly, Kidd realizes he'd better get to the bottom of the murder quickly if he wants to keep his profitable anonymity. In the fast-moving, gripping style readers have come to expect from Sandford, The Devil's Code uncovers the secrets beneath the secrets of high-level computer encryption with a tale that is pure entertainment. Richard Ferrone's intense narration pulls readers through a world where the answers to the biggest mysteries are hidden on the tiniest microchips.
