I have yet to read a spy novel being more of a 'crime' novel lover but I might consider giving Len Deighton a try in due course. I saw the movie of Tinker Tailor but failed to follow the plot (though loved Kathy Burke's role in it).
Sorry but the best Greene espionage novel, and probably the best spy novel ahead of Tinker Tailor and maybe even Smiley’s People, is The Human Factor. No contest!
