"Brigitte en Acción" by Lou Carrigan
This Spanish-language spy thriller opens with Israeli Shin Beth agent Saúl Furgler arriving in Palermo, Sicily, where he meets CIA operative James Dreiser on the docks. After boarding a private launch, Dreiser—unexpectedly—shoots Furgler three times in the chest, then is himself killed with shots to the back of the skull by an unknown third party.
The narrative shifts to American journalist and CIA agent "Baby" Brigitte Montfort, arriving in Rome from Paris. Colleagues brief her on the dual murders using photographs; both men are confirmed dead. Furgler had traveled to Palermo unauthorized, while Dreiser had disappeared from his Athens post six weeks earlier. The text explores whether the deaths connect to another missing CIA agent, Scott Aiken, disappeared from Rome seven weeks prior, and raises questions about possible Israeli retaliation or deeper conspiracies. Brigitte begins investigating the circumstances linking the agents' deaths.
