Description
Information specialist Vanessa 'Michael' Munroe has a global reputation for getting things done, often dangerous and violent things.
But her reputation has brought her dangerous enemies.
On a busy Dallas street, Munroe is kidnapped by an unseen opponent and thrust into an underground world where women and girls are merchandise and a shadowy figure known as The Doll Maker controls her every move.
Now everything pivots on one simple choice: Munroe must use her unique set of skills to deliver a high-profile young woman into the same nightmare that she once endured, or condemn to torture and certain death the one person she loves above all else.

Reviews / Votes
Munroe is a sensational character and Stevens is a sensational writer * Lee Child * The world may have found its next Lisbeth Salander * Daily Telegraph * One of the best thrillers of the year! * Tess Gerritsen * Lean and mean thriller featuring Vanessa Michael Munroe ... owes much to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But Stevens stamps the novel with her own bleak, punishing, bullet-flying outlook ...Out of that gloomy intensity comes edgy suspense. * Kirkus * A globe-trotting thriller. . . . The Informationist is an accessible, crisply told tale * NYTimes.com * Stevens's blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesn't have to kick over a hornet's nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander....Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner. * Publishers Weekly * With exotic locations, a twisty plot and pleny of violent action it's a fresh and punchy thriller * Sunday Mirror * Written with the muscular force of Lee Child and the political insight of Frederick Forsythe. No wonder Terminator director James Cameron has snapped up film rights * Daily Mail *More details

Person
Taylor Stevens has a remarkable life story - raised in a religious cult, the Children of God, she was denied basic education, her storytelling quashed by cult leaders, and her writing confiscated and burned. When she finally broke free of the movement, she was determined to write a novel - and she has now written three, The Informationist, The Innocent and The Doll.
The Informationist was an instant bestseller on publication in America. Taylor Stevens has lived in central Africa but now lives in Dallas.
