Brigitte en Acción

"Brigitte en Acción" by Lou Carrigan This spy-espionage novel, set during the Vietnam War era, follows the covert operations of Brigitte Montfort, a CIA agent operating under various aliases. The narrative opens in a Tokyo nightclub where a red-haired woman in glasses—actually Brigitte disguised—identifies and eliminates a target with a knife, then kills a Chinese magician using a garrote in a car, retrieving a small electronic device. After checking into the Embassy Hotel and removing her disguise to reveal her true dark hair and blue eyes, Brigitte contacts her handler "Simón" to report the successful mission. She calls her editor Miky Grogan in New York, assuming the identity of "Cecily Stevens," to arrange her return within two days. The story concludes with an arriving telegram redirecting her to Saigón for further assignment, establishing the episodic nature of her intelligence work across multiple international locations.
