An agent provocateur is often a police officer whose duty is to make sure suspected individual(s) carry out a crime to guarantee their punishment; or who suggests the commission of a crime to another, in hopes they will go along with the suggestion, so they may be convicted of the crime the provocateur suggested.
Agents provocateurs are typically used to investigate consensual or "victimless" crimes; since each participant in such a crime is a willing participant, only a police spy posing as a fellow participant in criminal activity is likely to be able to uncover such a crime.
The activities of agents provocateurs against dissidents in Imperial Russia was one of the grievances that led to the Russian Revolution.

 Agent Provocateur : Where the Wild Things Are - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Not surprisingly for a band that shares their name with a latter-day Foreigner album, Agent Provocateur is a mainstream rock band in the style of late-'80s arena rock.
Though they rely on synthesizers a little more than the typical '80s AOR band and Cleo Torez's vocals are a little harsher than normal, Agent Provocateur doesn't change the verse-chorus-verse-solo pattern at all, and they don't execute the predictable changes with much flair.
"Agent Dan" does have a couple of glossy hooks that makes it fine radio fodder, but the remainder of the record is hurt by that same slick production, simply because it has the sound but not the hooks.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Agent provocateur
The 56-year-old literary agent of Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, Norman Mailer, Salman Rushdie and Martin Amis, among others, conceals his Wall Street-style drive behind the lean, grave exterior of a man in the medical, or possibly the funeral, profession.
He divides his fellow agents into two categories: the fancy ones who expect their clients to come to them, and the hustlers, like him.
The key to good agenting, says Wylie, is self-effacement, and there is something strangely passive about him, for a man of such obvious ambition.

 Agent Provocateur/Voleur de Roses - www.ezboard.com
Agent Provocateur is indeed a sexy rose, even a naughty rose, in a sex kitten sort of way.
You know, my first thought about Agent Provocateur was one I didn't say because I thought it would sound funny - I thought it was very British mid '60's, which means I thought it could have fit right into that scene.
What got my interest initially with Agent Provocateur (besides the adorable pink love bomb bottle) is that it was described as a mossy fragrance, an "exotic floral chypre." I find it linear, too, but think I detect at least a smidgen of saffron on opening.

Gaudily turned out in a wide-brimmed Borsalino hat and a royal blue double-breasted blazer, he's on a mission: He wants to be dull.
Manhattan cohorts thought the scheme was fallout from what one agent calls Brockman's "high-concept fog cloud." His customers haven't been wild about it, either.

Literary agent Jonny Geller has a reputation for snaring advances crammed with zeros for his authors.
For starters, imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but to write an imitation of a book that has been worked by Geller is a really bad idea, though loads of people do it.
That said, it is also a waste of time to send an agent a book of a genre type he has never done before.

 Wired 7.09: Agent Provocateur
In the years ahead Brockman piled up a long list of clients - academics, thinkers, and scientists (a good many of them associated with this magazine) who were hoping to earn mass-market advances.
In 1982, Brockman bought one of the first IBM PCs, and he quickly realized that software programmers were like writers: They needed agents.
Starting in the early '90s, working under the precept "Science is the only news," Brockman took to scouring scientific journals, technology publications, and the front page of The New York Times to find the science story of the moment - cloned sheep, the recovery of the 1918 flu virus, a study on depression, whatever.
