The Secret Agent

Conrad’s masterful tale of espionage and moral corruption grips from the first page. Set in grimy Victorian London, it follows the double life of Mr. Verloc, a seemingly ordinary shopkeeper who’s actually a secret agent. As he’s drawn into a plot to bomb the Greenwich Observatory, Conrad weaves a taut psychological thriller that explores the dark underbelly of society. With its vivid characters and prescient insights into terrorism, this novel feels eerily relevant today. A haunting exploration of loyalty, betrayal, and the human capacity for evil.
