The Hanged Man’s Song
The Hanged Man’s Song by John Sandford is the fourth in his “Kidd” series of thrillers, but the first that I’ve read. It’s probably best classified as a techo-suspense novel I guess.
In it, super hacker (their words not mine) Kidd and his cat burgler girfriend seek to solve the murder of even more super hacker “Bobby”, who until his untimely demise was the leader of a hacking ring. Kidd, who improbably lives in St. Paul Minnesota, is also improbably, an up and coming painter (art, not houses) by day.
All this sounds cheesey now that I describe it, but it’s really quite entertaining. The computer stuff and the hacking is only mildly modified for public consumption, and still retains an air of authenticity. I’ve enjoyed this book, and wish Audible had more of the series available for download. In fact, I may just buy physical copies of some of the other’s in the series.
