American Spy is a novel by author Lauren Wilkinson. This is a unique spy thriller. What if your sense of responsibility asks you to betray the man you love?

In 1986, the center of the Cold War and Marie Mitchell was an FBI intelligence officer. She’s amazing, she’s also a young black woman who works in an old boys’ club. Her career has stalled, she’s overlooked in every senior squad, and her days are filled with monotonous paperwork.

She has the opportunity to join a shadowy task force that aims to undermine Thomas Sankara, the charismatic revolutionary president of Burkina Faso, whose Communist ideology has made him a target for intervention. American card, she said yes.

Yes, though she secretly admires the work Sankara is doing for her country. She is still grieving the mysterious death of her sister, whose example led Marie to this career path in the first place. Though an angry part suspects she was offered the job because of her looks, not her talent.

Over the next year, Marie will watch over Sankara, seduce him, and eventually get her hands on the coup that will bring him down. But doing so will change everything she believes in about what it means to be a spy, a lover, a sister, and a good American.
