Publisher's summary
Success used to be this savvy lawyer’s only rule. But now she’s putting everything on the line to bring a killer corporation to justice.
Since childhood, Yolanda Vance has forged her desire to escape poverty into a laser-like focus that took her through prep school and Harvard Law. So when her prestigious New York law firm is raided by the FBI, Yolanda turns in her corrupt bosses to save her career - and goes to work for the Bureau. Soon she’s sent undercover at Red, Black, and Green - an African-American “extremist” activist group back in her California college town. They claim a biotech corporation fueled by Pentagon funding is exploiting the neighborhood. But Yolanda is determined to put this assignment in her win column, head back to corporate law, and regain her comfortable life....
Until an unexpected romance opens her heart - and a suspicious death opens her eyes. Menacing dark money forces will do anything to bury Yolanda and the movement. Fueled by memories of who she once was - and what once really mattered most - how can she tell those who’ve come to trust her that she’s been spying? As the stakes escalate, and one misstep could cost her life, Yolanda will have to choose between betraying the cause of her people or invoking the wrath of the country’s most powerful law enforcement agency.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Clare Fergusson, St. Alban's new priest, fits like a square peg in the conservative Episcopal parish at Miller's Kill, New York.

Jay Brodsky is an enigma. To his fellow agents at the FBI’s cybercrimes division. To his new partner. Even to himself. For someone whose skills are beyond question, he often seems just on the edge of losing control. He seldom speaks about his family and his personal life, but he seems to be hiding something.

A thrilling and fun read
First book I have read by Aya de Leon, has written a delightful story of a tightly wound, young, African American woman, Yolanda Vance. Overall this book was really well done and kept my interest. There were a few points I felt the story lagged a little but the exciting parts were more than enough to keep me going.
The author does a great job of developing a complex character, and an interesting story line. The plot is relatively fast paced, but without sacrificing the story. The secondary characters were also intriguing - but some of their story's felt half-formed - like I wanted to know more about them.
If you are looking for a good, fun read, this is your book.

Far from subtle
I couldn't even finish. Subtlety is not an art the author has even attempted - not in the characters, nor in the storyline. Educated black woman gets caught up in white culture until she meets real black people (and a romantic interest) and her eyes are opened to the reality of oppression. She is SHOCKED to learn the FBI often sides with corporate interests over minority communities. (insert eye roll here) Such a tired and predictable story.
