BOOK DETAILS

AUGUST- Genre – “Thriller, Crime, Horror “

What if the world’s most elusive assassin was hired to change history—undetected, unstoppable, and unknown by name?

In The Day of the Jackal, Frederick Forsyth delivers a masterclass in tension, subterfuge, and calculated menace. Set in the volatile political landscape of 1960s France, this razor-sharp thriller follows a chilling plot to assassinate President Charles de Gaulle—by a ghostlike killer known only as the Jackal. With governments scrambling, a manhunt begins across borders and bureaucracies, but the Jackal is no ordinary adversary. He is a phantom of precision and patience.

From the smoky backrooms of conspiracy to the sunlit boulevards of Paris, every page crackles with suspense. Will the hunter become the hunted? Or will the Jackal’s bullet change the course of history?

If you think you’ve read a thriller before—think again. This is the one that defined the genre.
