Booklist Starred Review of The Boss

This well-written and enjoyable installment in de León’s unique, feminist, urban crime fiction series, Justice Hustlers (Uptown Thief, 2016), infuses satisfying power in both plot and character. Readers will embrace this heist story with heart and its hero, Tyesha, a smart yet fallible professional and champion for struggling women. [de] León, who is also a poet, social commentator, and head of the Poetry for the People program at UC Berkeley, is a crime writer to watch.
