Shadow Play
"What do I want the world to know? Great question. Know about what? Me? I am certainly a black sheep. At times, yes, I can be a wolf. I am more than that, though. IÕm much more than words on a page. I am compassionate and kind. I care a lot about people, all kinds of people. I always think about the kids I impact and how badly I want to warn them about life and how excruciating it can be, but I canÕt do that. ItÕs my job to provide guidance but I canÕt save everyone. All I can do is wake up, wear the white hat, and do whatÕs right. DonÕt get me wrong, the white hat comes off at times, not intentionally, but it does. The beauty, though, is that I can always put it back on. You never really lose the white hat, even if you forget to wear it. ItÕs at home on your dresser or maybe your dog is holding onto it for you. ItÕs waiting for you. I want the kids to know that no matter what their mistake is, no matter what bad decisions they make, itÕs never too late to start again."
The Fool's Run
The ultimate con game thriller from the internationally bestselling master of suspense, John Sandford As much as computer savvy Kidd loves to paint, it doesn’t pay the bills. But freelance hacking does. So, when a tech company offers him millions to take down its competition for a major government contract, he jumps at the chance. The potential risks are as significant as the rewards; he could face decades in prison should he fail. As Kidd begins to discover that computer fraud is child's play compared with the defence industry's Machiavellian games, he starts to realise quite how much trouble he may have gotten himself into... The Fool's Run is not only the first novel featuring Kidd, but it marks the debut of John Sandford as one of the world's premier thriller writers. ***Praise for John Sandford*** ‘One of the great novelists of all time’ Stephen King ‘A series writer who reads like a breath of fresh air’ Daily Mirror ‘Delivers twists to the very last sentence’ Daily Mail ‘Crime writer John Sandford is one of the best around’ Sun 'John Sandford knows all there is to know about detonating the gut-level shocks of a good thriller' The New York Times Book Review 'Sandford is consistently brilliant' Cleveland Plain Dealer ‘Perfect entertainment’ Kirkus Reviews on Escape Clause
