Sobre IBD

El agente secreto está basada en un acontecimiento real: el intento de volar el Observatorio de Greenwich por parte de un anarquista, llamado Martial Bourdin. Localizada en la ciudad de Londres, la novela narra la historia de un fallido atentado tras el que se esconde un oscuro entramado formado por el terrorismo internacional, la policía y la diplomacia deshonesta. Para Conrad, la capital inglesa es un «espacio suficiente para localizar cualquier historia, hondura suficiente para cualquier pasión, variedad suficiente para cualquier decorado, oscuridad suficiente para enterrar cinco millones de vidas».
