# "El Lobo anda suelto" by Lou Carrigan
This spy thriller opens with the assassination of Soviet diplomat Eugen Smolenko upon arrival at Washington's Dulles Airport—shot cleanly through the heart on the airplane stairs by an unseen marksman. The incident triggers alarm in diplomatic circles and launches the central mystery.
The narrative then shifts to New York, where superspy Brigitte Montfort (Agent Baby of the CIA) says goodbye to her lover "Number One" as he departs for Malta. Brigitte's CIA superior, Charles Alan Pitzer, arrives with urgent news: a CIA operative named Brian Dunlop has vanished in Washington, and the disappearance may connect to Smolenko's murder. More significantly, the infamous Soviet MVD agent "Volk" (the Wolf) has surfaced in Washington—a brilliant, dangerous operative of legendary reputation. Pitzer provides photographs of Volk and discusses the mysterious convergence of events, intimating that Brigitte's particular talents may be required to investigate the situation and confront this formidable Soviet adversary.
