About the book
** NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES STARRING EDDIE REDMAYNE **
'As gripping now as it was 50 years ago' THE TIMES
'Masterful suspense . . . The Day of the Jackal changed the shape of popular fiction from the moment it was finished' BEN MACINTYRE
'In a class by itself. Unputdownable' SUNDAY TIMES
________________
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 . . .

4.0The typical story of an atypical hero slugging it out against the bullies who manage to undo all his good work. What is different here is the villain is far more resourceful and for a time you actually feel he deserves not to be caught. The pace is good, the story is not overloaded with characters and the descriptive passages are good. The only issue is that the author likes his writing about Europe so much that readers like me who have never been there can find themselves out of depth.
