The Fool's Run
by John Sandford
In my effort to work my way through John Sandford's works, I realized that I had missed his FIRST book, written under his real name, John Camp.
FOOL'S RUN reads in many ways, like a "dry run" for the first few novels in the PREY series. It's more of a "techno-thriller" than a crime novel, but the authorial voice and dialogue are very similar to the first few Davenport novels. The protagonist, Kidd, is also something of a template for Davenport, who doesn't feel that he has to "play by the rules," has a number of eclectic hobbies, and is well-versed in a wide variety of skills.
All in all, a pretty engaging thriller, with a few surprises in the narrative. Worth reading, especially if you're a fan of Sandford's other work.
