I would recommend 'The Americans' by Robert Littell. It's a detailed and well - written account of the Cold War spy game. 'The Cuckoo's Calling' by J.K. Rowling (writing as Robert Galbraith) also has elements of the spy genre, with a private detective uncovering secrets that have a link to espionage. 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold' is an all - time classic that has inspired many of the current spy novels and is still worth reading.
Definitely check out 'The Kill Artist' by Daniel Silva. It's the start of a great series centered around a spy. 'The President's Daughter' by Bill Clinton and James Patterson is a recent addition to the spy novel genre, with an exciting plot involving international intrigue and a race against time. Also, 'The Day of the Jackal' is a classic that has influenced modern spy novels and offers a great read with its suspenseful story of an assassin and the attempts to stop him.
