Read Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy first of LeCarre; or second, em_h is probably right about The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, although I don't like it much. (Declare is the best LeCarre novel LeCarre never wrote.)
I do like Alan Furst, although I'd recommend NOT starting with the ones about the director in Occupied France, as they were weaker than the others I've tried. There's also Anthony Price; I recommend starting with Tomorrow's Ghost.
That may have used up my entire stock of thriller recs. Oh, wait, I've made you read Tracy Grant's Daughter of the Game already, right? Because if not, you should.
