American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson
American Spy is inspired by true events that knit together a gripping thriller, a heartbreaking family drama, and a secret, passionate love story. It is an espionage thriller with blazing originality that asks the reader potent questions about politics, race, and sense of duty. American Spy is Lauren Wilkinson’s debut novel and an exceptional read. Set in 1986 and based on Marie Mitchell, a mother and intelligence officer in the FBI; American Spy follows Marie from “never seen” to spotlighted agent and key player in a high-profile task force aimed at undermining, seducing, and overthrowing Thomas Sankara, the leader of a country that the American government thinks is ideologically wrong. The mission begins straightforward enough until more time elapses and changes everything Maria believes about what it means to be a mother, a spy, a lover, and a good American. This book is an absolute page turner – a reading experience as timely as it is timeless.
