The article makes me think of the movie The Russia House. It still has an excessively Mary Sue ending but parts of the movie are probably a better portrait of how this sort of thing really works than your typical James Bond flick.
This is not the sort of thing anyone should do to add a dash of excitement to their boring existence, though one comment here suggests "playing spy" for titillation is a shockingly common motivation for such cases.

- dredmorbius 5y agoIt's been decades since I saw it, and my tastes are undoubtedly different. That said, it struck me as well-written, cast, acted, and produced, as well as far more subtle than a TJBF.
