What if your sense of duty required you to betray the man you love?



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.



A stunning book PAUL BEATTY
