Consider Diary of a Dead Man on Leave by David Downing.
“Delivers a quiet, tense portrait of a single man trying to live under an encroaching regime. Detailed period atmosphere and close interior narration are the main value: you'll feel the small domestic choices acquire political weight. The main limitation is pace — scenes lean toward mood and moral wrestling rather than plot propulsion — which will frustrate readers expecting a propulsive spy thriller. Best read when you want atmosphere and ethical gray areas more than chase scenes.”
