American correspondents working abroad have for years traded half-joking innuendoes about colleagues they suspected of moonlighting for the Central Intelligence Agency, but no one ever knew for sure.

"You seem detectivy, in a nasty way." Defeated by the complications he uncovers, the sleuth forsakes the project-as a screenplay...
