My first John Sandford book.

Surprising since he has at least 55 published novels.

Dark Angel (2023) is pretty good, actually.

One of those American shoot-em-up non-stop thrillers — but it had enough humour and character development to keep me interested.

I liked how it was set in modern times, the beginning of Putin’s war against Ukraine.

I enjoyed all the computer hacking. Well intentioned Americans trying to disrupt the Russian train system.

This was #2 in the series featuring a badass female killer. I will read more.

Letty Davenport, the tough-as-nails adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport, takes on an undercover assignment that brings her across the country and into the crosshairs of a dangerous group of hackers.

Her previous actions at a gunfight in Texas — and her incredible skills with firearms — draw the attention of several branches of the US government, and make her a perfect fit for even more dangerous work.

The Department of Homeland Security and the NSA have tasked her with infiltrating a hacker group, known only as Ordinary People, that is intent on wreaking havoc.

Letty and her reluctant partner from the NSA pose as free-spirited programmers for hire and embark on a cross country road trip to the group’s California headquarters.

While the two work to make inroads with Ordinary People and uncover their plans, they begin to suspect that the hackers are not their only enemy.

Someone within their own circle may have betrayed them, and has ulterior motives that place their mission — and their lives — in grave danger.
