. . . The Day of the Jackal changed the shape of popular fiction
from the moment it was finished' BEN MACINTYRE ________________ One
of the most celebrated thrillers ever written, The Day of the
Jackal is the exhilarating story of the struggle to catch a killer
before it's too late. 1963. An anonymous Englishman is hired by the
Operations Chief of French terrorist organisation O.A.S. to murder
the French president, General Charles de Gaulle. A failed attempt
in the previous year means the target will be nearly impossible to
reach. Only one man could do the job: an assassin of legendary
talent known only as The Jackal. This remorseless and deadly killer
must be stopped. But he is a man without a name, without an
identity; a lethal spectre. How can you stop an assassin nobody can
identify? The task falls to the best detective in France - and the
price of failure is unthinkable . . . ________________ 'In a class
by itself. Unputdownable' SUNDAY TIMES 'Very clever and immensely
entertaining' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A perfect example of the adventure
story . . . well written, entirely believable, with this
intriguing, enigmatic character at its centre' ROBERT HARRIS 'A
