It's a professional decision that has an unexpected impact on his personal life. Adolf Verloc lives in London and runs a shop where he sells underground books and materials.

This is an excellent novel. Unfortunately, after I ordered it, the seller discovered that he or she did not have the copy I ordered. Hence, I never saw the Folio Society edition, the one I wished for.
