Read by Simon Prebble.

Day of the Jackal is not just Frederick Forsyth's best book; it's the best book in it's genre.
A political killer code-named "The Jackal" is hired to assassinate Charles De Gaulle, president
of France. He is the best, not appearing on any police file. But through one small twist of fate,
the French authorities learn of this plot, and set Claude Lebel, their best detective to find
The Jackal. From there, the race is on, and Forsyth gives the reader front-row seats. He has
created a sizzling rivalry between the cold-blooded assassin and the one policeman talented
enough to stop him, and the suspense never lets up. Through deception, betrayal, and luck, Lebel
tracks the killer throughout Europe, ending in the climactic assassination attempt itself. Based
on true events, the obvious outcome doesn't take away from the thrill of the chase. Sfm. This is
the book that set the standard for others to try and follow.
