Renaissance Espionage

hehehe... i came up with a new idea for a story. ^.^ Now I'm working on my own research, but if anyone has any information about the Renaissance period, or Espionage, or preferably Espionage during that time, let me know. Any books I can read about it? Good websites? Good movies? Let me know! Weapons? (I am assuming just knives and swords) Techniques? Famous Murders? Any and all information is appreciated!

I may be making this my NaNoWriMo story... we'll see!

Good luck if you do choose to do this as your NaNoWriMo. It's a really interesting topic.

Okay, so I really like the Da Vinci Code and a couple book reviewers said that "THE INTELLIGENCER" by Leslie Silbert was a good book. I read it and it's amazing. I think it has a bit of what you're looking for presented in a really interesting way. Here is a website that gives some excerpts from the book. I think you'll like it.
