About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin
Now a major TV series directed by Brian Kirk and starring Eddie Redmayne!
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 . . .
'As gripping now as it was 50 years ago' THE TIMES
'Masterful suspense . . . The Day of the Jackal changed the shape of popular fiction from the moment it was finished' BEN MACINTYRE
'In a class by itself. Unputdownable' SUNDAY TIMES
Would you listen to The Day of the Jackal again? Why?
Yes - after a decent interval and when the memory of the detail has faded ever so slightlyWho was your favorite character and why?
The Jackal because he should have got away with itHave you listened to any of David Rintoul’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes though I can't recall the names. But this is a tour de forceWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No because that would be too tiring and, anyway, delayed gratification is a good ideaAny additional comments?
