What this book is about

Grace Lawson picks up a batch of developed photographs and finds one that doesn't belong — an old photo with her husband and people she doesn't know. When she shows it to Jack, he disappears that evening. Just One Look is a Harlan Coben standalone — dual-perspective, with Grace searching for Jack while the reader slowly learns what the photo means.
