His books may require more effort on the reader's part than Ludlum's, but
John Le Carre writes excellent spy novels.  "The Spy Who Came in from the
Cold" may be the best spy thriller ever written, and I also highly recommend
"The Looking Glass War" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy."

Len Deighton is also well thought of as a spy novelist, although the only
book of his that I have read is "SS-GB."  It was very good.
