Tense, tightly wounded and intense are all words that perfectly fit Yolanda Vance, the protagonist of Aya de Leon's latest thriller A Spy in the Struggle. After recent scandals at her law firm, Vance finds herself on the verge of homelessness, a condition she sought to escape throughout much of her childhood. Driven by desperation, she joins the FBI on a mission to investigate the untimely death of a young Black woman and a community based organizing union, the Red Black and Green. Along the way, Vance confronts her own demons and paradoxes.

What I liked about this novel is Leon's never ending plot twists. Each time I thought I knew what Vance was going to do, she surprised me. The ever evolving character development and Aya de Leon's complex exploration of class, race and gender in the modern "movements" makes this a great read!
