The Fool's Run

Kidd is a pretty good painter, but it's selling his genius with computers that pays the rent. The billionaire owner of Anshiser Aviation offers him his biggest ever payday to deal with a corporate spy and wreak havoc on the computers of Anshiser's rival, for whom he was working. For his money Kidd is even willing to work with a team -- LuEllen, a cat burglar, and Dace, a journalist who'll do anything for a scoop.

But Kidd finds that computer fraud is child's play compared with the defence industry's Machiavellian games. Lives are soon on the line in this cool, high-tech thriller. Authentic, fast-moving and ingenious, it marked John Sandford's debut.
