It is rare for a novel to force us to examine not our political convictions, but the intimate mechanics of our own conscience. The Shadow of an Agent achieves this with merciless lucidity, placing us in the skin of an ordinary man, an administrative supervisor, confronted with the abyss between law and justice and the vertigo of choices that will lead him toward multiple destinies, all irreversible. Let the reader enter these pages with caution. What they will find there will not leave them intact. And the multiple endings that await are not conclusions, but invitations to question the choices made each day, in indifference or lucidity, and about the person one is becoming.
