The Assassination Bureau, Ltd.

The characters operate in a gray area between hero and villain, which made me wonder how London wanted readers to perceive their actions. Was this intentional commentary or just storytelling?

The story seemed to take a slight detour before picking up again — I’m curious if that was a deliberate choice to build suspense or just the flow of the narrative.

The Bureau’s methods and philosophy felt very specific — I wonder if London based it on any real clandestine groups or if it was purely fictional world-building.
