Looking: Recs for best depictions of clandestine agencies (sffa.community)

I am looking for others’ recommendations for the best Spec Fic stories centered around covert organizations and their dealings/activities. Intelligence agencies, special units, black operations, etc.

Some examples that spring to mind are Special Circumstances from The Culture series and Section 8 from Star Trek.

You might like Laundry Files by Charles Stross. It's focused around a secret government agency that deals with eldritch horrors (and tries to keep the public from finding out about magic).

That sounds like it could be interesting and I have heard good things about the author. I will check that out! Thanks!
