Secret agents (5)

I believe the answer is:

spies

'secret agents' is the definition.
(spy is a kind of secret agent)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for spies that I've seen before include "Undercover agents" , "Eg, CIA" , "Double agents" , "Snoops" , "Secret agents" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Independent, the Newsday, the USA Today and The Guardian.
