From: Dean Sutherland 

this book?  It was written by Alan E. Nourse (I think...)

Hero is a member of "Earth Intelligence".  He is trying to catch a spy for the
"bad guys" (I don't remember who they are).  The spy has the ability to
teleport himself from any point on a planet to any other, or to teleport from
ground to orbit (or vice versa).  I recall that the Earth empire held together
because their military could supposedly cause suns to nova.

The only other thing that I remember is that many characters turn out to
actually be different people than the reader is led to believe.  In fact, at
least one character really isn't the person HE thought he was...
