Sunday

Painter/computer hacker and jewel thief partner help friends in jeopardy, solve crimes, wreck havoc on bad guys and the government. Cons and sabotage.

Four titles:
The Fool’s Run
The Empress Files
The Devil’s Code
The Hanged Man’s Song

Kidd and LuEllen make cameo appearances in some Lucas books.

Vintage Sandford. Best caper, thriller writing ever.
