Query: Not Your Typical Conrad Work

This is not your typical Conrad work in the sense it stands out as a spy thriller/mystery versus an adventure tale. However, it does contain many of the same dark themes of human nature as you find in "Heart of Darkness" and others. Some will appreciate the work for those intricate themes, the historical portrayal of London, and the critique of anarchism--I ended up enjoying the novel as a classical spy thriller. It is a short and easy read, although I found it a little slow prior to the big event.
