          ________________

          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 . . .
