It is 1963 and the Secret Army Organisation want to kill General de Gaulle, the President of France. They hire a professional assassin, a tall, cold Englishman who calls himself ™the Jackal'.
But in spite of his brilliant disguises and clever preparations, ™the best detective in France', Claude Lebel is close on his heels.

A blockbusting novel from one of the world's greatest thriller writers. This will enthral you from start to finish! Also a gripping film starring Edward Fox.
