The spy film genre deals with the subject of fictional espionage, either in a realistic way (such as the adaptations of John le Carré) or as a basis for fantasy (such as many James Bond films).
 Many novels in the spy fiction genre have been adapted as films, including works by John Buchan, le Carré, Ian Fleming (Bond) and Len Deighton.
 It is a significant aspect of British cinema, with leading British directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Carol Reed making notable contributions and many films set in the British Secret Service.
Philip Milton Roth (born March 19, 1933) is an American novelist.
Call for the Dead is John le Carré's first novel, published in 1961.
 It introduces George Smiley, the most famous of le Carré's recurring characters, in a story about East German spies inside Great Britain.
 It also introduces a fictional version of British Intelligence, called "the Circus" because of its location in Cambridge Circus, that is apparently based on MI6 and that recurs throughout le Carré's spy novels.
Bill Haydon is a fictional character created by John le Carré in le Carré's "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy".
John le Carré: The Biography is a 2015 biography of John le Carré written by Adam Sisman and published by Harper.
Joseph Hone (February 25, 1937 – August 15, 2016) was an Irish writer of the spy novel.
 His most famous novels featured a British spy called Peter Marlow.
 The first of the series was "The Private Sector" (1971), set in the Six Day War.
 Marlow's story continues in "The Sixth Directorate" (1975), "The Flowers of the Forest" (a.k.a. "The Oxford Gambit") (1980), and "The Valley of the Fox" (1982).
 During his heyday, in the 1970s, Hone was favourably compared with writers such as Len Deighton, Eric Ambler and John le Carré.
 Whilst some spy novels, such as those of le Carré are often set mainly inside the offices of the spy department, and attract praise for the depth of their characterization and plotting, others (such as the James Bond series) are set in the field, and provide explosive action.
 Joseph Hone's stories by contrast, have a foot in both camps, and he has become renowned amongst aficionados of the spy genre for both the quality of his writing, and the excitement of his plots.
 He released his memoir, "Wicked Little Joe" in 2009.
Connie Sachs is a fictional character created by John le Carré.
 Sachs plays a key supporting role in le Carré's "Karla Trilogy" of spy novels including "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"; "The Honourable Schoolboy"; and "Smiley's People".
Control is a fictional character created by John le Carré.
 Control is an intelligence officer who acts as the head of "the Circus", the British overseas intelligence agency.
 He is a character in the novels "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold", "The Looking Glass War", and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", and is referred to in several others, usually by association with le Carré's recurring protagonist George Smiley, who has served as Control's right-hand man.
The Incongruous Spy: Two Novels of Suspense (1964), by John le Carré, is an omnibus edition of le Carré's first two novels "Call for the Dead" (1961) and "A Murder of Quality" (1962).
 The omnibus, about George Smiley, was released after his third novel, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" (1963).
David John Moore Cornwell (born 19 October 1931), known by the pseudonym John le Carré ( ), is a British author of espionage novels.
 During the 1950s and the 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service, and began writing novels under his pen name.
 His third novel, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" (1963), became an international best-seller and remains one of his best-known works.
 Following the success of this novel, he left MI6 to become a full-time author.
