Wilkinson, Lauren - American spy

Written by Wilkinson, Lauren. Themes include Sankara, Thomas, Fiction, African Americans, Burkina Faso, Spy stories.

It's 1986, the heart of the Cold War. Marie Mitchell is an intelligence officer with the Fbi. She's brilliant and talented, but she's also a black woman working in an all-white boys' club, and her career has stalled with routine paperwork - until she's recruited to a shadowy task force aimed at undermining Thomas Sankara, the charismatic, revolutionary president of Burkina Faso, whose Communist ideology has made him a target for American intervention. In the year that follows, Marie will observe Thomas, seduce him, and ultimately, have a hand in the coup that will bring him down. But doing so will change everything she believes about what it means to be a spy, a lover, and a good American.
