Plot: Conrad's novel follows the plight of Verloc, a lazy and self-satisfied spy who loafs through evening meetings with anarchists who are all talk and no action. Verloc's life is upended when his new boss suddenly orders him to create a provocation that will force a police crackdown on the anarchists. What makes the story so intriguing is that Conrad constantly reveals the gulf between the characters' outward actions and their private motives. While the novel initially seems to belong to Verloc, eventually it becomes clear that the heart of the story is with his wife, Winnie, and her desperate efforts to protect her disabled younger brother.
