You might enjoy G. K. Chesterton's 1908 novel The Man Who Was Thursday.[1]
Spoiler from the Wikipedia plot synopsis:
"In his efforts to thwart the council, Syme eventually discovers that five of the other six members are also undercover detectives; each was employed just as mysteriously and assigned to defeat the Council. They soon find out they were fighting each other and not real anarchists..."
In 1977, Philip K Dick took this up a notch in A Scanner Darkly[2], in which the drug-addled protagonist is unknowingly spying and informing on himself.
