El salario de los espías

This issue of *El salario de los espías* ("The Spy's Salary") by Lou Carrigan contains two spy fiction stories. The first, "Brigitte en acción" ("Brigitte in Action"), introduces protagonist Baby (Brigitte Montfort), a CIA operative recounting her first significant mission from a Caribbean beach. The narrative opens with Baby disguised as an elderly duchess eliminating two criminal organization leaders in a beachside bungalow, using concealed weapons hidden in her clothing. She then reveals her true identity to colleague Karl Pierson and begins recounting her formative early assignment in Jamaica. The second narrative segment, untitled but set in Jamaica, depicts American CIA agent Sam Hagerty being captured by criminals led by Wilson Rutheford, who interrogates him about a mysterious "emerald route" and a blonde CIA colleague. The text combines spy action with physical combat sequences, featuring female agents alongside male operatives in espionage scenarios involving criminal organizations and intelligence operations.
