The Day of the Jackal is the Edgar award winning novel about a professional assassin contracted to kill Charles de Gaulle, the president of France. “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).
