In many ways, "The Seven Year Itch" doesn't conform to the spy story standard. For starters, its lead JJ McCall is female and African-American. A Summa Cum Laude graduate of Howard University and tops in her Quantico Class, she is one of the FBI's best and brightest field agents.

Pulling Strings
J.J. McCall is a second generation FBI agent. Her mother, Naomi, served under the Hoover administration, when the Black Panthers were thought to be detrimental to the USA. Ten years in, working in the espionage unit, J.J. is still fighting to break the glass ceiling. As an African American woman in the agency, despite her success, she has yet to move through the ranks. No thanks to her racist immediate supervisor, Jack Sabinski.

Passed over yet again for a promotion in lieu of a less qualified applicant, she’s ready to throw in the towel and resign. She’s made promises but in order to keep them, she...more
The Seven Year Itch is a good spy story. FBI Agent JJ, who is cursed or blessed, depending on how you look at it, with an interesting twist on how to detect liars, must use all her skills to discover who killed two of her spies and who is selling the United States secrets.
