"Suspense thriller"
While out shopping with her two month old son Justin
strapped to her chest, two men steal the infant but not
before she gouges one of their eyes out. When Milla Edge
recuperates, she becomes determined to find her baby and
goes to Need Finders, an organization that searches for
lost people, mostly infants and children. Her husband
divorces her because he can't live with a crusader which
is fine with Milla who is too busy tracking down every
lead pertaining to her son. For over a decade, all clues turn into dead ends until she
connects with James Diaz, a bounty hunter who freelances
for Homeland Security, the Mexican government and
corporations. He is a lone wolf who only opens up to
Milla and he should be the last person she should be
attracted to but her feelings for him transcend common
sense. With his help, she discovers all the answers that
eluded her but when he betrays her she walks out on him
though doing so nearly destroys her. CRY NO MORE is one of Linda Howard's best works in years.
This suspense thriller wrapped around a deep and intense
love story will appeal to fans of both genres. This
heroine is very goal oriented and until she meets Diaz
feels two dimensional as if she is a caricature instead of
a person. The author did this on pretense to emphasize
the obsession and what it can do to a person if they are
not careful. The hero is a hunk who believes in Milla and
justice in that order and he goes to extraordinary lengths
to prove his devotion and need of her. Harriet Klausner

SummaryCount your blessings; they can be snatched away in an
instant. It is a sentiment Milla Edge knows too well.
With an astonishing blend of savvy, instinct, and passion,
Milla displays an uncanny gift for finding lost children.
When all seems helpless, desperate souls from across the
country come to her for hope and results. Driven by an
obsessive desire to fill the void in other people's lives,
Milla throws herself into every case—all the while
trying to outrun the brutal emotions stemming from a
horrific tragedy in her past.
Traveling to a small village in Mexico on a reliable tip,
Milla begins to uncover the dire fate of countless
children who have disappeared over the years in the
labyrinth of a sinister baby-smuggling ring. The key to
nailing down the organization may rest with an elusive one-
eyed man. To find him, Milla joins forces with James Diaz,
a suspicious stranger known as the Tracker who conceals
his own sinister agenda.
As the search intensifies, the mission becomes more
treacherous. For the ring is part of something far larger
and more dangerous, reaching the highest echelons of power
and influence. Caught between growing passion and imminent
peril, Milla suddenly finds herself the hunted—in the
crosshairs of an invisible, lethal assassin who aims to
silence her permanently.
