Cloak-and-dagger sort (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'cloak-and-dagger sort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for spy that I've seen before include "Enemy agent" , "Glimpse" , "Discover" , "Catch sight of" , "Watch covertly like secret agent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
