The Informationist by Taylor Stevens has been compared to Steig Larssen's character in Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. Vanessa "Michael" Munroe is an information specialist. She can blend into any group and find out information that will help businesses move into new territories.
When a man in Texas hires her to find his daughter, who disappeared in Africa, she takes the job even though it is outside of her usual search for information. Emily Burbank was on vacation, traveling around Africa, when her family stopped getting progress reports. Her family has been looking for her for four years.
Munroe finds herself back in the land in which she was born - and has to deal with the memories and demons of her past.
Steven's book is a thrill ride through a fascinating and dangerous landscape. Her main character is kick ass woman whom you would not want to meet in a dark alley. Readers will be pacing until the next volume in the series comes out.
