Brigitte en Acción: El Asesinato del Siglo
· 1982

This Spanish-language spy fiction serial, "Brigitte en Acción" (Brigitte in Action) by Lou Carrigan, follows American journalist and CIA agent Brigitte Montfort, whose secret identity is the agent "Baby." Arriving in Paris, Brigitte is intercepted at Orly Airport by French police and unexpectedly expelled by her old friend Monsieur Nez, head of French intelligence. Traveling to London instead, she's met by John Pearson, British intelligence chief and former colleague, who similarly orders her out of Britain permanently. Both encounters mystify Brigitte, though neither official explains the reasons. The narrative introduces a mysterious plot involving someone named Xox preparing "the murder of the century" with multiple copies of agent Baby. The story combines espionage tradecraft with personal betrayal as Brigitte's longtime allies coldly reject her presence in their respective countries.
