In this gripping novel by John Sandford, con artists Kidd and LuEllen embark on a high-stakes mission to sabotage a rival corporation. As they navigate the world of high-tech crime, their flawless plan unravels, leading to unexpected twists and a dangerous game of deception. Will they outsmart the ultimate con?
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Prey series comes a crime novel of “classic stings” (Booklist). With the same sharp human insight he brings to the murderers and manhunters of his bestselling Prey novels, Sanford takes us into the minds of two irresistible con artists. Kidd and LuEllen are a winning pair of lovers and liars plotting the ultimate sting. Their target is the wealthy (and corrupt) mayor of a small Mississippi river town. Their setup includes buying a houseboat, assuming false identities, and exposing local scandals. Their scam is perfect. Until everything goes wrong....
'I'm into something a little weird here. I don't want to worry you, but if anything unusual should happen, get in touch with Kidd, okay?' When the writer of this letter dies suddenly, allegedly burglarising a software company, his sister turns to Kidd - artist, computer whiz and professional criminal - to find out what really happened. Before long, Kidd and his sometime partner/lover, LuEllen, are up to their necks in trouble...the sort of trouble that leads to flowers on a grave. Computer hackers, scientists and crooked businessmen all play their parts as Kidd gets ever closer to discovering the truth behind his friend's death.
In this gripping novel, a complex mystery unfolds as a talented musician becomes embroiled in a web of crime and deception. The story features intricate character development and a suspenseful plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. With Sandford's signature blend of thrilling action and sharp dialogue, the narrative explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and the darker sides of fame. As the protagonist navigates this treacherous landscape, unexpected twists lead to a shocking conclusion.
