Sometimes the best psychological drama in spy fiction comes from the supporting characters. Think about Connie Sachs in le Carré’s work, the brilliant researcher drowning her regrets in drink and gossip. Her entire existence is a tragedy of what the ‘Circus’ uses up and discards. Those moments of human wreckage scattered around the main plot often hit harder than the protagonist’s own struggles.

Joseph Kanon’s 'The Berlin Exchange' is superb post-WWII intrigue. It’s about an American physicist who spied for the Soviets, gets swapped in a prisoner exchange, and enters 1960s East Berlin to reunite with his ex-wife and son. The political landscape is a maze of Stasi, CIA, and KGB interests. The psychological drama is rooted in his desperate attempt to rebuild a family in the heart of a surveillance state, never knowing who to trust, including his own family.

How do political intrigue books mix espionage with diplomacy?

My favorite trope is the 'diplomatic incident' that's actually a carefully staged piece of espionage theater. A fake defection, a staged attack on an embassy, a leaked document that's complete disinformation. The goal isn't to gain intelligence, but to manipulate the diplomatic landscape—to force a reaction, to create a distraction, to test an alliance. In these plots, espionage is the playwright, and diplomacy is the stage where the actors perform, unaware they're following a script. The mix is total; one is the puppet master, the other is the puppet.

I tend to prefer when the politics are a dirty, boots-on-the-ground affair. Richard K. Morgan's 'Altered Carbon' (though more cyberpunk) has elements of this—super-soldiers (Envoys) used as political tools in a world where power is absolute and immortality is for the rich. The military might is personal and brutal, deployed for corporate or factional gain rather than national glory. The intrigue is about ownership of consciousness and the brutal politics of a class system built on technology. The action is visceral, but it's always in service of a larger, grimy political power struggle.
