The best audio performances are the ones that make you forget you're listening to a recording--the ones that take you there. Jonathan Davis is that smooth in this murder mystery, whether he's depicting males or females . . . whites, blacks, Latinos, Southerners, Yankees . . . or the dark villain who forces loved ones to attach a monetary value to the lives of his kidnapped and tortured victims. When Davis reads hero Theo Knight's lines, you feel the presence of a burly, jovial black man. When he depicts white detective Jack Swyteck, you feel the leading man's pain at losing his lover to a perverted madman. Grippando and Davis, stick together. You're a great dramatic team.

Product Description
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 gets a ransom demand that pegs Mia as the kidnapper's latest victim. Worst of all, her 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.
