Synopsis

For
fans of The Border and Jason Bourne, Make Them Cry is an explosive action thriller about a DEA agent sucked into a dangerous turf
war on the US-Mexico border. It’s
hard to make Diane Harbaugh flinch. A former prosecutor notorious for her
aggressive tactics, she’s now a DEA agent who interrogates witnesses so
effectively, she has them confessing in tears. But when she hears from Gustavo,
a high-ranking cartel member with an invaluable secret about the international
black market, she’s thrown for a loop. She heads to Mexico to meet him, and her
entire understanding of justice and duty is thrown into question. Gustavo sends her
down a rabbit hole that leads to a criminal conspiracy more pervasive than
anything she and the DEA ever suspected. She teams up with Ian Carver, a disillusioned
CIA agent, and begins to unravel layers of deceptions, grifts, and schemes that
date back to the beginnings of the Afghanistan War. As they learn more, they
become the target of cartel assassins, embittered spies, and even their own
government. They are at the center of an international manhunt with
world-changing consequences—and the only way out is for Diane to do the one
thing she promised herself she’d never do. Stylishly written and relentlessly
plotted, Make Them Cry is an action-packed thriller of unimaginable stakes.

Goodreads review by Roberta on July 27, 2021

As I write a review of every book I win from Goodreads, I felt obligated to say at least something about why I rated it as I did. It's extremely rare that I've ever rated a book this low - maybe once every few years. I tried very hard to get into this story, but failed each time I attempted. It was a......more

Diane Harbaugh is a DEA agent, she receives a call from an anonymous person in Mexico asking her to travel down, alone to meet. He turns out to be the high ranking member of a cartel. Not for me sadly. This book started out alright but the further I got in, the more I lost interest. Diane was ok but......more

Goodreads review by Tim on December 24, 2021

A recent study reported the value of the global book market as $132.1 billion (a lot of money, yes, but still just half of Elon Musk’s net worth). The dominant genre in market share – 16.7 percent in 2020 – is mystery (ranging from crime to thrillers), something I suspect any regular visitor to a bo......more
