Laberinto sin salida

This Spanish-language pulp magazine contains two spy-thriller stories. "Archivo Secreto" (Secret File) opens with a frogman's covert infiltration of a white house in Key Biscayne, Florida—apparently a presidential retreat where the U.S. President plans to meet Meragua's leader. The operative, equipped with scuba gear and armed with a pistol and three small mysterious objects, attempts to plant surveillance devices but is discovered during a guard rotation and captured after shooting a guard and fighting his way toward escape. The second story, "Brigitte en Acción" (Brigitte in Action), introduces the protagonist: Brigitte Montfort, an international correspondent and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the Morning News, returning to New York from abroad. After an enthusiastic but unwelcome airport greeting from her colleague Frank Minello, she arrives at her luxury apartment on Fifth Avenue to find Charles Alan Pitzer, CIA chief for New York, awaiting her with an assignment. The narrative establishes Brigitte's sophisticated, cosmopolitan character before presenting an unspecified espionage mission.
