Who do companies turn to when they need detailed information about foreign countries? In the novel The Informationist by Taylor Stevens that person is Vanessa "Michael" Munroe. She always delivers accurate, and expensive, information and is the best at what she does. But her new client is looking for something different: his stepdaughter who has been missing in Africa for four years. Munroe hesitates to take the case. She is in need of a break, and she has never searched for a missing person before. Plus, having been born to missionaries in central Africa, Munroe hasn't been back to the country since she escaped nearly ten years ago.
However, the money Richard Burbank is offering is too much to turn down. Munroe takes the case and returns to Africa, and the personal demons she left behind so many years ago. A character reminiscent of Lisbeth Salander of the Millennium trilogy, Vanessa "Michael" Munroe is a prodigy with languages and another strong female character in a suspense novel that will not disappoint.
