    A word like 'spooky' for spy or intelligence operative. I totally forgot it had another (more historical, American, racist) use as I'm not the US and never hear it. I wouldn't have noticed it you hadn't pointed it out to be honest.

        How did I not know that there was a movie? I was vaguely aware of the book as it was kid of a big cult book here in the UK amongst a few older activists I knew back in the day. That's something I'm going to have to find.
