I think the classic The Spy Who Came in From the Cold by John leCarre is a must. His other stories got bigger and progressively duller--the movie is great, but I dare anyone to finish Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy!--but his first novel was short and sweet with a bunch of where-did-that-come-from? plots and a remarkable ending.
