"Contrato para una espía" by Lou Carrigan
This spy thriller follows Brigitte Montfort, a beautiful international spy and journalist, who receives a mysterious job offer while driving through New York City. An anonymous contact named Roque, communicating via a hidden magnetic device in her car, offers her half a million dollars to complete a covert assignment involving espionage and potentially three murders. The target involves recovering classified documents and eliminating a traitor and enemy agent in the small Caribbean nation of Trópico. Intrigued by both the payment and the adventure, Brigitte accepts. At a Manhattan party hosted by the mayor's secretary, she makes contact with Sebastián Torres, the International Relations Minister of Trópico, who provides further instructions. The narrative emphasizes Brigitte's intelligence, decisiveness, and striking appearance while detailing Cold War-era espionage centered on petroleum interests and geopolitical manipulation between superpowers.
