The Day of the Jackal
"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.

Praise for this book
"When it comes to espionage, international intrigue, and suspense, Frederick Forsyth is a master." --The Washington Post Book World
"Inventive, organized, believable, and absolutely spellbinding...Suspense fiction at its very best and a cliffhanger par excellence."--The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A masterpiece tour de force of crisp, sharp, suspenseful writing...It's an awful cliché to say that 'you won't be able to put this book down, ' but cliché or not, it's the truth."--The Wall Street Journal
"The Day of the Jackal makes such comparable books as The Manchurian Candidate and The Spy Who Came in from the Cold seem like Hardy Boy mysteries." --The New York Times
"Chillingly real...Rushing along with such passion that the reader himself seems to be traveling with 'the Jackal.' One of the best books of its type in a long time." --Newsday
One of Bob Odenkirk's Book Recommendations: "The book that kept me up way too late." --Elle
