Day of the Jackal is a novel by Frederick Forsyth, published in 1971. It tells the story of a professional assassin hired by the OAS, a far-right French terrorist organization, to assassinate President Charles de Gaulle.
The novel was a critical and commercial success, and has been adapted into two films, one in 1973 and one in 2017.
The novel has been rapidly rising on Google Trends NZ in recent days, likely due to the release of the 2017 film adaptation.
The novel is a classic thriller, with a suspenseful plot and a well-developed cast of characters. The assassin, codenamed the Jackal, is a cold-blooded killer, but he is also a master of disguise and deception.
The novel is also a political thriller, as it explores the themes of terrorism and the role of the state in combating it. The OAS is a far-right terrorist organization, and the Jackal is a ruthless killer, but they are also fighting against a government that they believe is illegitimate.
The novel is a complex and thought-provoking thriller, and it is easy to see why it has remained popular for over 50 years.
