Kidd is an artist, computer hacker and professional criminal who plans elaborate cons with LuEllen, his partner in work and life. Their four novels combine digital schemes, murders and shifting loyalties; publication order is the clearest way to follow the pair as their jobs become more personal. Begin with The Fool’s Run, which was published before the first Prey novel despite later being written under Sandford’s real name.
Start with The Fool’s Run, then follow the four Kidd and LuEllen novels in publication order.
The Fool’s Run is the first book in the series.
Publication order is recommended because the continuing characters and plot developments carry forward.
