Brigitte en Acción: Delicias chinas

Museum Catalog Note This Spanish-language spy fiction features Brigitte Montfort ("Baby"), a CIA agent recalled from leave to investigate the mysterious disappearance of four Soviet MVD agents operating on the U.S. East Coast. Her superior, Charles Alan Pitzer, briefs her en route to a New York hotel, where she must contact Vitali Karpof, an MVD defector working as a double agent. Brigitte, disguised as an elderly French duchess, meets Karpof in his hotel room and extracts photographs of the four missing agents—Félix Tirian, Piotr Milkov, Emil Neguchov, and León Skovenko—though Karpof admits he knows nothing of their current whereabouts or assignments. The narrative follows standard Cold War espionage conventions, emphasizing tradecraft, suspicion, and the moral ambiguities of double-agent operations. A second chapter fragment mentions Spain, suggesting plot expansion.
