This is part of a second series by John Sandford. I didn't know he had a series apart from the Prey novels, featuring Lucas Davenport. With Richard Ferrone narrating, I kept expecting Davenport to show up at first.

From the back:
"When Kidd—artist, 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 secret—it’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…"

This is not one of Sandford's better books. I finished it, but only half paid attention through parts. The characters are not well drawn. Kidd spends the whole book getting other people to do the hacking while he hides in hotels. There's no action until the very end. By then, who cares? I didn't really care about any of the characters. I think readers are supposed to know them from the first two novels, so Sandford didn't give much background.

Will not be going back to read the first two. ( )
