SSR: (sorry no cool title)

I'm reading a book (obviously) about a man who is hired by the heads of the French mob to kill the president of France, General Charles de Gaulle. This assasin is unkown to any government or secret service in the world, he is the best in his profession, and he has never failed. He is a tall and blond Englishman, a run-of-the-mill-guy, and he goes by only one name... The Jackal. This man, this Jackal, is very prcise and meticulous in everything he does without making a single mistake or leaving any trace of his prior presence. The story goes on to describe how he gets a custom built rifle, fake passports, and how he makes his way across most of Europe and finally arrivies in Paris, France.While all of this is happening, the French Secret Police get wind of the plot to kill the president. A man by the name of Commissare Claude Lebel is told to take every open case he is working on, set it aside, and make finding the Jackal his top and only priority.So I guess I will leave it at that and let you discover what happens. I just finished reading the book and it was quite and amazing ending. Personally I am not the type to sit and read a book in one or two days, but with this one i'm sure that many of you who read it will. 'The Jackal' is a brilliant work of writing and Frederick Forsyth has created the perfect asassin and a one-of-a-kind detective that hopefully has a chance at stopping this merciless killer.
