| Why isn't Adam Hall represented here? His Quiller books are the quintessence of spy novels. |

| Judging by the most guessed answers, if you're thinking of writing a spy novel it's probably not a bad idea to have the hero's name start with a J. *shrugs* |

| I'm curious why you're listing Dirk Pitt in "Sahara" when he was introduced over 20 years earlier in "The Mediterranean Caper". Or were you just choosing what you thought were the authors' most famous novels? |

@ktappe: Something along the "most famous" line. Where there was a movie tie-in, I tried to go with that title to make the quiz more accessible to a broader audience.
@Sporcle: Thank you for the nod! |

| The protagonist of Len Deighton's book "The Ipcress File" was never named. He only became "Harry Palmer" in the subsequent film. |

| Since when is Dirk Pitt a spy? |
