Brigitte en Acción: La gata ladrona
Brigitte en Acción: "La Gata Ladrona" This Spanish-language spy fiction installment features Brigitte Montfort, an international journalist and undercover CIA agent ("Baby"), sent by her superior Charles Alan Pitzer from New York to Beverly Hills. Film producer Wilson B. Carmody and his wife Wanda have suffered a valuable jewelry theft—$800,000 worth—but the significant loss is Carmody's Congressional Medal of Honor, stolen alongside other gems. A series of high-value robberies plague the Los Angeles area. Carmody initially expects a male operative but accepts Brigitte's assistance after learning of her famous reputation. The narrative establishes Carmody's sentimental attachment to his war decoration, contrasting it with insurable jewelry, and hints at mysterious circumstances surrounding the theft. Brigitte agrees to stay and investigate, suggesting Uncle Charlie (Pitzer) believes she can recover the medal despite conventional wisdom that a woman is unsuitable for such work.
