'The condemned social order has not been built up on paper and ink, and I don't fancy that a combination of paper and ink will ever put an end to it' LONDON 1886 Adolf Verlac is a small businessman living with his wife and her brother. Neither is aware that Verlac is also a member of an anarchist cell... ...and the anarchist cell is not aware the Verlac is in the employ of a foreign power as an agent provocateur... Verlac's intrigues involve him deeply in acts of terror, murder and tragedy. One of Joseph Conrad's finest works, The Secret Agent is now regarded as one of the most important literary works of the Twentieth Century with particular praise often given to Conrad's prescience in his prediction of the rise of terrorism and anarchy.
