A dark, suspenseful vision of political fanaticism and terrorism, "The Secret Agent" is the most personal of  Joseph Conrad's haunting works. the story of Verloc -- His secret life as a double agent, his alliance with cold blooded anarchists and his part in a barbarous act -- provide a compelling look at the corruption of beliefs. John K. Snyder's eerie paintings summon up the dark, chilling underworld of Conrad's spellbinding tale, the forerunner of the modern espionage thriller.
