About the book
NOW A PEACOCK ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING EDDIE REDMAYNE—THE CLASSIC THRILLER FROM #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR FREDERICK FORSYTH
“The Day of the Jackal makes such comparable books such as The Manchurian Candidate and The Spy Who Came in from the Cold seem like Hardy Boy mysteries.”—The New York Times
The Jackal. A tall, blond Englishman with opaque, gray eyes. A killer at the top of his profession. A man unknown to any secret service in the world. An assassin with a contract to kill the world's most heavily guarded man.
One man with a rifle who can change the course of history. One man whose mission is so secretive not even his employers know his name. And as the minutes count down to the final act of execution, it seems that there is no power on earth that can stop the Jackal.

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.
