Random House, Inc. âStevensâs blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesnât have to kick over a hornetâs nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larssonâs Lisbeth Salanderâ¦.Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner.â âPublishers Weekly, starred, boxed review
A Texas oil billionaire has hired her to find his daughter who vanished in Africa four years ago. Itâs not her usual line of work, but she canât resist the challenge. Pulled deep into the mystery of the missing girl, Munroe finds herself back in the lands of her childhood, betrayed, cut off from civilization, and left for dead. If she has any hope of escaping the jungle and the demons that drive her, she must come face-to-face with the past that sheâs tried for so long to forget.
Gripping, ingenious, and impeccably paced, The Informationist marks the arrival or a thrilling new talent.
