The Spy Killer is a 1969 American action thriller drama spy television film originally aired on ABC and directed by Roy Ward Baker. Its teleplay, written by Jimmy Sangster, was based on his own 1967 novel private i.[1] The film starred Robert Horton, Sebastian Cabot, and Jill St. John. In the following year, a sequel titled Foreign Exchange was released with the same main cast and crew.

Both novels were reprinted by Brash Books in September 2019 in ebook, paperback and audio editions.
