The series focuses on a strange young woman named [[GenderBlenderName Vanessa "Michael" Munroe,]] who is the titular "Informationist:" she deals in "expensive information." Munroe is essentially a highly-paid mercenary force all to herself. For obvious reasons, she is often compared to [[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Lisbeth Salander]] and Literature/JackReacher. The series has been highly acclaimed and the first two books are both ''New York Times'' bestsellers.

A series of thriller novels by American writer Taylor Stevens. There are two novels so far: ''The Informationist'' (2011) and ''The Innocent'' (2012), with a third novel, ''The Doll,'' scheduled for release in 2013.
The series focuses on a strange young woman named [[GenderBlenderName Vanessa "Michael" Munroe,]] who is the titular "Informationist:" she deals in "expensive information." Munroe is essentially a highly-paid mercenary force all to herself. For obvious reasons, she is often compared to [[TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo Lisbeth Salander]] and JackReacher. The series has been highly acclaimed and the first two books are both ''New York Times'' bestsellers.
!!Examples of tropes in this series are as follows:
* ActionGirl: Munroe, natch.
* {{Cult}}: The Chosen of God in book two.
* DarkestAfrica: The series itself begins here. Specifically, in Equatorial Guinea.
* {{Expy}}: The above {{Cult}} is one of the Children of God, which Stevens was born into.
* GenderBlenderName: The main character herself. A master of disguise, Munroe once shaved her head, [[WholesomeCrossdresser dressed as a man,]] and adopted a male name as part of a mission. The nickname stuck.
* IWarnedYou: Two guys attempt to rape Munroe in book two. She gives them a variation on this before summarily [[WaifFu whaling on them as they deserve.]]
* {{Omniglot}}: Munroe speaks 22 languages "at last count."
* UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming: The many, many, [[RuleOfThree MANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]][[PunctuatedForEmphasis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]] victims of child sexual abuse in the Chosen of God are given this by their leaders, whose reasoning basically amounts to this: the children were possessed by demons who tempted the adults around them, so any rape they endured was their fault.
