When Kidd gets a call for help from his friend Bobby, he answers it at once. Kidd's never met Bobby, just talks to him by computer. This time Kidd has a problem to help out in Longstreeet - a town on the Mississippi. Another computer friend of Bobby's has been shot by "mistake" by the police.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When the cops of Longstreet, Mississippi see a black boy running away from them and clutching something in his hand, there's only one thought in their minds - bag-snatcher. So they shoot him in the back. Except, Darrell Clark isn't a thief, he's a computer-crazy fourteen-year-old, who was running home before his ice-cream melted. And now he's dead.
When the predictable police cover-up begins, Darrell's friend, Marvel Atkins, decides it's time for the corrupt city government to go. Using Darrell's computer, she contacts the only two con artists with the nerve to take on a whole city: Kidd, computer-hacker extraordinaire, and his partner and some-time lover, Lu-Ellen.

All he has to know is where to push...
