Now a Peacock series adaptation starring Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne
One of the most celebrated thrillers ever written, The Day of the Jackal is the electrifying story of an anonymous Englishman who, in the spring of 1963, was hired to assassinate General Charles de Gaulle.
France was infuriated by Charles de Gaulle’s withdrawal from Algeria, and there were six known attempts to assassinate the general that failed. This novel dramatizes the seventh, mostly deadly attempt, involving a professional killer for hire who would be unknown to the French Police. His code name was Jackal, his price half a million dollars, and his demand total secrecy, even from his employers.
Step by painstaking step, we follow the Jackal in his meticulous planning, from the fashioning of a specially made rifle to the devising of his approach to the time and the place where the general is to meet the Jackal’s bullet. The only obstacle in his path is a small, diffident, rumpled policeman, who happens to be considered by his boss the best detective in France: Deputy Commissaire Claude Lebel.
©1971 Frederick Forsyth (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.批評家のレビュー
“This classic thriller translates well to audio…Narrator Simon Prebble is the perfect complement to Forsythe’s matter-of-fact style of writing…Prebble’s clipped English accent helps to conjure the atmosphere of Europe in the 1960s.”
(AudioFile)“In a class by itself. Unputdownable.”
(Sunday Times (London))“A masterpiece tour de force of crisp, sharp, suspenseful writing.”
(Wall Street Journal)“The Day of the Jackal makes such comparable books that The Manchurian Candidate and The Spy Who Came In from the Cold seem like Hardy Boy mysteries.”
(New York Times)“If ever there was a book that fits the can’t-put-it-down category, this is it.”
(Minneapolis Tribune)“I was spellbound, riveted to this chilling, superbly researched story.”
(The Guardian (Manchester))“Compelling, utterly enthralling…Some of the tensest thriller writing I can remember reading.”
(Sunday Express (London))
