The city is a haven for political exiles of all sorts - refugees,
partisans, anarchists. Verloc has made his living spying for the Russian
goverment, an agent
provacateur of sorts, while simultaneously providing information to the
London police, specifically Chief Inspector Heat. When the new Russian
ambassador demands he prove his worth or lose his salary,
Verloc sets off a tragic chain of events that involves his pretty young
wife Winnie, her retarded brother Stevie, and a figure called the
Professor, whose fascination with explosives and destruction makes him
the person to call on when Verloc needs a bomb.
