Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "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."-- Provided by publisher.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Aya de Leon's action-packed, sexually-charged, politically significant novels have been described as 'a rallying cry' (The Washington Post) and praised for their 'poetic and savvy descriptions of women s inner and external challenges that are reminiscent of Sister Souljah's or Ntozake Shange's work' (Bitch Magazine). Now she takes on issues of climate justice, corporate corruption, and government surveillance of marginalised activists in an electrifying story about a high-powered attorney who goes undercover to infiltrate a Bay Area activist group.

"Dafina fiction"--Spine.
