PLEASE NOTE: This book may have an alternate cover. The following description is provided as a guide only and may contain text that doesn't specifically relate to this item. ...The superb opening chapter of Howard's new romantic thriller throws the reader deliciously off balance. Milla Edge lives in Mexico, where her doctor husband, David, is posted. She has just given birth to her first child and is basking in a maternal glow when baby Justin is stolen literally out of her arms, with chilling efficiency. A decade later, Milla is divorced from David and has become the devoted head of an organization called Finders. Hunting down the cabals that carry out these crimes, she combs North America for kidnapped babies, including her own. Her sometimes reckless exploits put her in harm's way and also land her in the path of two very different powerful men. Wealthy businessman True Gallagher contributes generously to Finders and pursues Milla with every donation. The dangerous and elusive Diaz, a mercenary-or is he a government agent?-provides Milla with the name of Justin's kidnapper, and offers to accompany her on the dangerous journey to his headquarters. Both men have secret personal agendas, and Howard, perhaps unwisely, gets into their heads to reveal them; the story works best when the reader is on the emotional and physical roller-coaster ride with Milla, not a few steps ahead of her. But Howard (Dying to Please; Kill and Tell; etc.) keeps a few surprises up her sleeve and delivers a number of exciting jungle scenes. Best of all is Milla, a complex woman whose struggles will win readers' hearts.... 2003 Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. ......From AudioFile...In a vicious attack, criminals tore her infant from Milla's arms and stabbed her in the back. Ten years later, she has forsaken all else to search for her son and other missing children. Speaking mostly from Milla's point of view, Joyce Bean captures the loneliness, as well as the passion, now governing the protagonist's life. Bean drops her voice slightly to convey male dialogue but not so far as to create caricature. When speaking in the voice of a half-Mexican tracker, Bean offers just a hint of an accent, which perfectly delivers both the character's foreignness and education. And when performing the several steamy sex scenes, the huskiness of Bean's voice speaks more than the written words.
