Kramenin's gang

In the novel The Secret Adversary, a gang of revolutionaries with Bolshevist tendencies was engaged in inciting labour unrest in the country with the aim of formenting a revolution. The gang did not have a name but one Kramenin, a known revolutionary from Russia, had the designation of "Number One" and, outwardly, at least, was the leader of the gang. However British authorities believed that there was a mysterious Englishman who was the real brain behind the organisation. This man went by the unassuming alias of "Mr Brown" and always appeared to play a secondary role in the background. Understanding the gang and discovering the true identity of "Mr Brown" forms part of the main mission of. Through the course of their investigation, Tommy and Tuppence would meet with many members of the gang, many of whom would only be known by a numbered designation such as "Number One", "Number Fourteen" and so on. However the identity of "Mr Brown" would for a long time elude them.
