The Doll: A Novel
There’s not much that can make heavily armed “information specialist” Vanessa ­“Michael” Munroe do something she doesn’t want to do. But kidnapping and torturing one of her inner circle may be one of them. When a human trafficker known as the Dollmaker needs a high-profile doll (i.e., kidnapped young woman) delivered to a client, he settles an old score by forcing Michael to choose between the girl and her old friend. To save her friend’s life, Michael has two days to get the doll from Croatia to the client in Italy. She must arrive unharmed—no bruises, no drugs. Emotionally and physically scarred by her own past with a man who wanted to own and control her, Michael has taken justice into her own hands more than once and has proven herself capable of anything. Following The Informationist (2011) and The Innocent (2011), Stevens’ third Munroe book is another international action-adventure with a Bourne-like avenging angel at the reins. --Karen  Keefe--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
