Looking for recommendations for someone who has read all Le Carré and Len Deighton, please. Not my genre so no idea what's good... stuff in the same vein / style would be perfect. Thanks in advance.

Waterstones had a big promotion on Mick Herron, I picked up his first book Slow Horses, haven't read it yet but looked good

Anything by Gavin Lyall. Similar to Len Deighton. I love them.
