    R.T.,

    Been done.

    Several West German women were seduced by the East German Stasi during the Cold War and a CIA secretary was seduced by an intelligence officer from Ghana.

    There are other known cases as well.

    In fiction, Tom Clancy's "A Clear and Present Danger' had a Cuban intelligence officer seduce the FBI director's secretary.

    R.T.,

    Red October is Clancy's first and best thriller, in my view, but I also liked "A Clear and Present Danger." Jack Ryan up against the Cubans and a major Colombian drug trafficker.

    I recall the thriller's good first chapter, in which a Coast Guard cutter takes on a drug trafficker's boat. Good stuff.
