From bestselling author James Grippando comes the newest Jack Swyteck thriller, in a series that critics have called "riveting," "a winner," and "lapel grabbing." In Got the Look, Swyteck is up against a killer who's so fiendishly clever and diabolical that even Jack may have at last met his match.
Jack Swyteck has a new girlfriend, Mia, and he thinks she may actually be "the one." Life is good-until Mia goes missing. Then Jack gets a one-two punch. He discovers that his lover is married, and her rich husband gets a ransom demand-"Pay me what she's worth"- that pegs Mia as the latest victim of a kidnapper who is striking fear into Florida's richest families. It's a cruel demand, and if the kidnapper's track record is any indicator, the consequences of paying too little are positively deadly.
Worst of all, Mia's husband knows all about her affair with Jack, and he decides to pay the kidnapper exactly what his cheating wife is worth: nothing. Feeling deceived, Jack at first resists getting involved. But as secrets about Mia's strange marriage and mysterious past unfold, Jack is in for a twisty ride that may bring him face-to-face with a madman.
