Brigitte en Acción

# "Brigitte en acción" by Lou Carrigan

This Spanish-language spy adventure opens with protagonist Brigitte Montfort—a renowned journalist and elite CIA spy known by the codename "Baby"—playing chess with Frank Minello in her luxurious New York apartment when Uncle Charlie Pitzer, head of the CIA's New York sector, arrives with urgent news. He reports that war has erupted between Honduras and Guatemala, with General Alcázar of Honduras launching five hundred thousand troops against Guatemalan General Nemesio Lucientes. However, Pitzer's own field operatives in both countries confirm no military activity exists; the region remains peaceful. The cryptic message comes from agent P.C. in Tegucigalpa, who has since disappeared—likely killed. Recognizing a mystery demanding investigation, Brigitte accepts assignment to Honduras immediately. Minello insists on joining her despite limited travel arrangements, arranging to meet her in Tegucigalpa once he secures passage.
