秘密间谍

十九世纪初期的伦敦是难民，罪犯和一些阴谋家的避风港。威尔罗克是靠给沙俄政府收集各种情报为生，但与此同时他还给伦敦员警署署长提供情报，威尔罗克是一名不折不扣的双重间谍。当新一任的沙俄大使要他证明自己以前的价值，否则将会失掉他的工作时，威尔罗只能按照大使的要求去制作一颗炸弹。London of the late 19th century is a haven for political exiles of all sorts - refugees, partisans, anarchists. Verloc has made his living spying for the Russian government, an agent provocateur 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 intellectually disabled 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.
