Brigitte en Acción

Catalog Note "Brigitte en Acción" is a Spanish-language spy adventure serial by Lou Carrigan (1968). The narrative follows Brigitte Montfort, alias "Baby," a CIA operative employed as a journalist at the Morning News in New York. The first chapters establish her dual identity: by day she reports on embassy events; by night she conducts covert operations. The plot involves the secret recovery of three American nuclear missiles still stationed in Turkey despite disarmament conference negotiations. Brigitte receives a coded message disguised as a florist's invitation regarding a flower filming at the "Central de Floricultura"—spy tradecraft communicated through innocent-sounding pretexts. Parallel scenes introduce Richard Somervelle, a skilled American intelligence operative, being briefed on a dangerous classified mission: dismantling and extracting the Turkish missiles in pieces before their existence can be confirmed at international disarmament talks. He will be contacted by a specialized CIA agent using the Russian password "Los espías americanos estamos locos" ("American spies are crazy"). The serial blends romantic comedy (Brigitte's banter with sports journalist Frank Minello) with Cold War espionage and nuclear weapons intrigue.
