Before Lucas Davenport and the brilliant Prey novels, there was Kidd (artist, computer whiz, and professional criminal) and his sometimes partner/sometimes lover, LuEllen. The army left Kidd with a dislike for bureaucracy and the skills to do something about it, but it didn’t prepare him for the day a woman would call and tell him his colleague Jack Morrison is dead. Jack was supposedly killed by a jittery security guard when he was caught raiding a company’s files in the middle of the night, but that story just doesn’t sit right with Kidd. The more he investigates the company and its ambitious owner, the more convinced he becomes that Jack stumbled onto something that got him murdered. And that unless he and LuEllen get to the bottom of it all quickly, the next bodies might very well be their own.Saturated with the atmosphere, characters, and exceptional drama that have made John Sandford one of America’s best-loved thriller writers, The Devil’s Code is a masterpiece of suspense, a richly layered novel, filled with the unexpected. It is truly vintage Sandford.

Digitally Enhanced in order to fix audio recording Speed/Pitch/Tone as much as possible so that the recording sounds like the late legend, Frank Muller himself. He had many variations on his voice depending on what he was reading, so I had to try and fix the recording to match the type he was using for that book, ie fast and upbeat or low and measured, (like the difference between his reading of John Grisham legal thrillers and Stephen King and cop thrillers with mafia voices and Silence of the Lambs or Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles) and the year, as he sounded different in the early 80s than he did in late 80s and 90s and 2000s. Many recordings out there have severe audio issues which stem from the digital source which likely stems from a bad cassette transfer, which I have endeavored to fix so that Frank can be heard as he actually was. Noise, Bass/Treble etc have also been tuned, along with Audio level being normalized to -3db top end max with a maximum boost of +2.5db for lower volume areas. Audio encode frequency is 44.1KHz at 128Kbps Stereo for best quality with no compression artifacts (unless source was low quality to begin with and noise couldnt be completely removed). Many of these were very bad and I have done the best I can over 12 years working on these to restore them once I discovered Frank Muller in 2010, 2 years after he passed away. Long Live THE LEGEND
