American Spy

LAUREN WILKINSON

Publication: Random House, 2018, New York

First edition. Author's first novel. Signed by the author on the title page. As new, unread copy in dust jacket. One of 2019's most anticipated debut novels, Lauren Wilkinson's American Spy is being hailed as an "unflinching, incendiary debut combines the espionage novels of John le Carré with the racial complexity of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man" by Publisher's Weekly, while TIME.com praises Wilkinson's storytelling, detailing thrills and twists "worthy of a James Bond caper". It’s 1986 and Marie Mitchell is an intelligence officer with the FBI. She’s also a young black woman working in an old boys’ club. So when she’s given the opportunity to join a shadowy task force aimed at undermining Thomas Sankara, the charismatic revolutionary president of Burkina Faso, she says yes. But doing so will change everything she believes about what it means to be a spy, a lover, a sister, and a good American.
