Brigitte EN ACCION
· 1972

This Spanish-language pulp spy serial, "Brigitte en Acción: Rendez-vous para una Espía" by Lou Carrigan (1972), concerns CIA agent Brigitte Montfort, code-named Baby. At the agency's New York headquarters, Brigitte receives romantic verses from an anonymous admirer who mails them through Puerto Rico. Initially charming—simple, childish love poems—the messages escalate when a package arrives containing an airplane ticket to San Juan, a dark blue artificial flower, and threatening verses: the sender threatens to kill many people unless Brigitte travels to meet him. Despite warnings from colleague Simón, Brigitte accepts the challenge, placing a coded newspaper announcement in Puerto Rican papers. She arrives at San Juan airport where a handsome blond man named Lelé meets her, claiming to work for her unknown admirer. The narrative combines romance, espionage intrigue, and mystery as Brigitte investigates the identity and intentions of her cryptic suitor.
