Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner is a spy thriller. In places, it's a page turner, although the story took me about 50 pages to figure out what was going on. Sadie Smith is the protagonist. She is a spy, hired to cause trouble.
In her current job, she has infiltrated a group of environmental farmers. Big agriculture wants to use the neighborhood's water supplies to use to irrigate their mega-corporation farms.
In order to accomplish this, she becomes the lover of an old friend of one of the leader's. This gets her in. Once she learns their plans, she instigates trouble for a politician.
She's lucky in so many instances. Too many, in fact. She figures that it's time to get out before her luck runs out. She does successfully disappear out of sight.
