The Day of the Jackal
In
1972, “The Day of the Jackal” won the Edgar Award for best novel. The story, by
an English author named Frederick Forsyth, is about an assassin hired by the
Organization of American States (OAS) to kill the president of France, Charles
de Gaulle. Complicating matters for those trying to protect de Gaulle, and for
readers of this legendary spy thriller, no one actually knows the identity of
Jackal.
