About this ebook

“Hard-boiled computer hacker Kidd and his sometime girlfriend LuEllen make for a refreshingly roguish couple” (Entertainment Weekly). Now they’re back in #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford’s electrifying novel of murder, intrigue, and revenge—Kidd style.

When Kidd’s superhacker friend Bobby is murdered and his laptop is stolen, Kidd knows it’s panic time. The secrets stashed in Bobby’s computer are enough to hang Kidd and everyone else in Bobby’s criminally ingenious cyber-circle. It’s up to Kidd and his partner LuEllen to track it down, find Bobby’s killer, and save their own necks—because the secrets are downloading faster than anyone anticipated. And they’re far more staggering than anyone imagined.

Ratings and reviews

The Hanged Man's Song was attractive as it finally revealed who the superhacker Bobby was, and how he met Kidd. Unfortunately, this seems to be the last in the Kidd series; Kidd pops up in the Lucas Davenport novels here and there, and was recently mentioned as having a child with partner-in-crime LuEllen, so I doubt that there will be any future Kidd novels. Still, it was fun while it lasted.

We need more Kidd/Lauren aka Ellen books. I know that both of them have recently been mentioned in the latest Davenport books. But Kidd and Lauren aka Ellen, needs some new stories. Please write some new ones. Thanks from a very happy reader.

Great read, keeps you interested
