In The Day Of The Jackal “the Jackal” is a hired murderer who are hired by the OAS(Organisation de l´Armée Secré or Secret Army Organisation) to kill the french president Charles de Gaulle.

The Jackal is an english man who has several identities for example “Charles Calthrop” "Marty Schulberg" an old soldier and many many more, every character that The Jackal is becoming has it´s own dress and looks to confuse the french police and the hired detective Claud Lebel. The Jackal is a very good murderer, he escapes thru all of europe and back again to avoid the police and detective.

When B had finished with his, he handed it off to C and got the third from A. C closed his dossier a moment later and put it in front of B. He then started in on the one B had just given him” etc. This goes on throughout the book and Forsyth’s endless recitation of the names of streets, squares, and towns gets quite boring.” This was written by Thomas Jussing at the IT gymnasium in kista and it is the truth, sadly. But I shouldn´t just be negative about The Day Of The Jackal because sometimes it really get´s exciting and you feel that you can´t stop reading.
