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. FBI agent Andie Henning is tracking a ruthless kidnapper
plaguing south Florida, one who's out to prove that all human life can
be valued in dollars and cents. But at every turn, he has slipped
through her net. This time he's taken the wife of one of the state's
richest horse breeders and is asking a ransom of $1 million. The stakes
go up when Andie finds the woman -- dead. Enter Jack Swyteck. He
has a new girlfriend, Mia, and life is good -- until she goes missing.
Then Jack gets a one-two punch: he discovers that his lover is married,
and her rich husband receives a ransom demand that pegs Mia as the
kidnapper's latest victim. Worst of all, her husband knows all about the
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 unfold about Mia's strange marriage
and mysterious past, Jack is in for a twisty ride that may bring him
face-to-face with a madman. Views: 62

SUMMARY:A species of worms that can reach thirty feet long has begun attacking--and feeding on--the residents of a remote island. The trichinosis worm is one of nature's most revolting parasites. Certain types of this tiny worm alter a host's DNA by injecting a virus which mutates the reproductive system. This forces the host to bear the worm's young. Typically these worms are never longer than a few millimeters. But guess what? Now there's a subspecies that's thirty feet long... When Nora and her team arrive at the island, she expects a routine zoological excursion...but it doesn't take her long to realize they're not alone. Are her lurid sexual dreams making her paranoid...or is she being watched? The dead bodies they find are bad enough, but then her own team members begin to disappear, and when they return, they've...changed. Indeed, there are other people on the island...along with something else far worse. Views: 62

As well-versed in politics, pop culture, and crime fiction as he is ill-fated in life, Jack Taylor is recovering from a mistaken medical diagnosis and a failed suicide attempt. In need of money, and with former cop on his resume, Jack has been hired as a night-shift security guard. But his Ukrainian boss has Jack in mind for a bit of off-the-books work.
