Thank you everyone for answers, I wish i could give 10 points to everyone!
It is not going to be fair of me to pick the best answer because everyone recommended the best books you knew.
I just read 'The Spy who Came in From the Cold', was VERY impressed and sad about the ending. I really want to get John Richardson, Pete Earley, Christina Skye and "The Confessions of a dangerous mind"
Thanks!

If you want to read about a REAL spy, try this one by Pete Earley: _Confessions of a Spy: The Real Story of Aldrich Ames_.
Or read _Betrayal: The Story of Aldrich Ames, an American Spy_ by Tim Weiner, David Johnston, and Neil A. Lewis.

Brian Freemantle's Charlie Muffin Books, commence with the earliest ones first to construction up a image of the nature. Any Len Deighton secret agent novel. Ted Alberry is astonishing, as is Adam Halls Quiller novels. Gavin Lyall also writes a good tale. From u . s . of america you'll get Vince Flynns and Lee Childs books, both very readable authors. also Brian Haig has some astonishing selections.

'A Perfect Spy' by John Le Carre, biographical novel of a fictional spy with lots of bits taken off the author's life. Another famous novel by Le Carre is 'The Spy who Came in From the Cold'
'My Father The Spy' by John Richardson. A biography of a real life CIA master spy, great read!

Two abosolutely AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME spy / romance / thriller authors are Christina Skye, and Tara Janzen. Both have spy series' and I abosolutely fell in love with them. i recommend them to anyone who loves a good mystery mixed with high suspense mixed with romance. If i had to pick the best id be pushed to say Skye over Janzen. Her's were definitly more suspenseful, but still nothing like a good Tami Hoag or Mary Higgens Clark.

Look for John Le Carré novels. He wrote some of the best spies novels, full of mistery and suspense, when the Cold War was a reality, and the main topic for suspense novel. You can read Alistair McLean novels, too. Why I am recommending old novels?...Because those writers were Masters, and you can enjoy them. May be you can find them in e-bay, in the used books section, or amazon.com, perhaps.

I love the Daniel Silva books. They are about a spy/assassin for the Israeli government. Good stuff.
