La jauría

Brigitte en Acción This Spanish-language spy fiction features Brigitte Montfort (alias "Baby"), a CIA agent and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who operates from a hidden garden behind a New York florist shop that serves as the agency's headquarters. When her superior Charles Pitzer summons her, he reports an urgent crisis in Zamora, a South American nation: a mob has surrounded both the Colombian and American embassies demanding to lynch Franklin Everitt, the CIA station chief, who has taken refuge in the Colombian compound. The crowd's discovery of Everitt's identity suggests either a betrayal within CIA ranks or a coordinated plot. Brigitte deduces the situation presents two problems: extracting Everitt safely and identifying his betrayer. She suspects someone may be manipulating the mob rather than this being genuine popular uprising. She immediately prepares to travel to Zamora to investigate, requesting her expedition file and transportation arranged for the following morning.
