Red Widow
Alma Katsu@custaro @thevetauthor Thanks, Pete L. As for mine, the 3-book Cold War series starting with Spy Game might be best. Also recommend Alma Katsu's Red Widow, and Joseph Weisberg's An Ordinary Spy. Like McCarry, they're both ex-CIA.

The Billion Dollar Spy: A True Story of Cold War Espionage and Betrayal
David E. Hoffman@spybrary Difficult...there are so many excellent books on espionage...possibly Roger Faligot's Chinese Spies or David E. Hoffman's The Billion Dollar Spy. Both broke new ground, both relied on massive research and both are well-written.
