I suppose it depends a little on what you mean by "spy".

I've been reading a few mouldy oldies lately: Ashenden, by W Somerset Maugham (who really was a secret agent in WW1); E Phillip Oppenheim's The Great Impersonation; Gavin Lyall's Major Maxim series; Joseph Conrad's "The Secret Agent"; Ian Fleming of course; then there's Michael Gilbert's Calder and Behrens series of short stories from EQMM (not easy to find in e-edition, if at all); Richard Condon's "The Manchurian Candidate"; Arthur C Clarke (yes, that Arthur C Clarke) "Earthlight", about the hunt for a spy on the moon; even The Saint in "The Saint on Guard".

The list is enormously long, and includes some surprising writers.
