Terror psicológico

Brigitte en Acción (1979), by Lou Carrigan

This spy adventure serial opens in the New York Morning News office where sports editor Frank Minello quarrels about the Montreal Olympics controversy—Canada refusing to admit Formosa unless the name excludes "China," while Formosa refuses participation otherwise. Minello argues for media blackout of the Games to strip away political exploitation. International editor Brigitte Montfort, a CIA super-spy and Pulitzer Prize winner, engages him in witty banter before leaving to meet her florist, Mr. Pitzer.

The narrative shifts to Costa Rosa, Central America, where Brigitte arrives by plane. A clandestine radio broadcaster calling himself "Bélico" spreads psychological terror through predictions of imminent invasion by a neighboring country, causing widespread panic among citizens. Brigitte has come to confront this crisis. The story blends espionage, political intrigue, and comedic character interactions, establishing Brigitte as the capable operative responding to international threats.
