Undisclosed - (Factory) by Aya de León (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

An undercover spy seizes the spotlight to avoid exposure in the gripping third installment of Aya de León's award-winning Factory series.

Teen spy Amani Kendall's first solo mission seems straightforward: to befriend Danielle, the angry, grieving daughter of a former Factory operative, and prevent her from blowing an agent's cover and exposing the Factory--an international organization of spies safeguarding people of color--to the world. But in order to get close, Amani will have to step onstage and win a place in Danielle's band and at the elite summer camp hosting the "Next Teen Sensation" competition. Meanwhile, the band's charming bassist falls head over heels for Amani, who is not sure whether to be flattered or overwhelmed. Add in an increasingly volatile Danielle, a nefarious billionaire sponsor, the pandemonium that surrounds a K-pop supergroup, and an industry that thrives on fatphobia and racism, and it will take all of Amani's wits and spycraft to keep her mission on track. In a riveting companion book to Undercover Latina and Untraceable, a seasoned suspense writer explores the intersection of the personal and the political with rapid-fire intrigue.
