Disagree. The answer is The Spy Who Came in From the Cold.

Thanks. Also, which of his works from the 2000s if one wants to compare how he evolved?

Maybe The Constant Gardner. Think A Perfect Soy may have been written in the mid 90s. But he didn't really evolve for the better in the 2000s. The Cold War was his world.

You should give a solid reason for this alternate suggestion, not just throw it out like some DCUM dummy

For a more recent book, you could read the Night Manager then watch the TV show.
