The Informationist- Taylor Stevens

I purchased the audio version of this suspense thriller after seeing it on the Audible.com tournament of books. The protagonist is Vanessa Michael Munroe,usually referred to as Michael in the story. Her troubled past is revealed as the tale weaves through murderous intrigue in Equatorial Guinea (for the most part). She has some serious mad assassin skills, though she is paid the big bucks for learning secrets and making connections like a secret agent version of Sherlock Holmes. However, the actual story delivers much about her fighting skills, troubled past, and relationships, with a good amount of spy craft and investigative deductions thrown in. There are plenty of gunrunners, mercenaries, corrupt governments and big business out to get Michael. She kicks butt and takes names.
