Getting a sneak peek? (6)

I believe the answer is:

spying

(Other definitions for spying that I've seen before include "Engaging in espionage" , "Keeping furtive watch" , "Acting as a secret agent" , "Activity undertaken by Blunt and Philby" , "Catching sight of; agent's job" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
