La institutriz
Catalog Note *Brigitte en Acción* (Archivo Secreto), by Lou Carrigan, depicts a Cold War espionage thriller centered on protecting Prince Omar Iben Muza of Saamadia. Following the sudden death of the emir, revolutionary factions plot to assassinate the young heir before he can return home and stabilize the region. The CIA and Soviet MVD forge a secret accord to prevent regional conflict that could escalate globally. The Americans plan to transport the prince covertly via passenger ship *Titania* to Le Havre, where Soviet agents will assume custody. Security rests with the intelligence agent "Baby"—America's finest operative—and Rita Macguillicudy, an inconspicuous English governess. The Soviets, aware of Baby's involvement through logical deduction, assign their premier agent Val Angelof to identify her during the voyage, though under strict orders maintaining cooperation and avoiding violence. The narrative alternates between CIA and MVD planning sessions establishing the high geopolitical stakes and competing intelligence operations.
