Story
The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. He soon meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer who tracks him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe..
Forsyth was working as a freelance journalist covering the Biafran War
When it ended he returned to Britain, unemployed and unsure what to do next.He said: 'I came back Christmas '69, thoroughly skint. I don't have a likelihood of a job, don't have a flat, don't have a car and don't have any savings.
Then I had this crazy, crazy idea to write a novel
'Everybody said you must be joking or mad because the chances of even getting it published are hundreds to one, even thousands.' Within weeks of publication, the film rights were snapped up. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars battled to play the Jackal in the 1973 film but the role went to the then unknown Edward Fox because director Fred Zinnemann thought he could pass invisibly in a crowd.

(Air Mail). Ok so I am loving the series, yes I can pick out errors etc, but I am just watching and enjoying the series so far.One major let down is Lashana who is playing the lead female role, she is a decent enough actor but this role just does not suit her, apparently she is a weapons expert but without spoiling the plot must of shot over 200 shots at someone and well let's just say if she was on a grassy knoll we would not be talking about JFK's fate today, there are many better suited people for this role but unfortunately the casting people made an error, and this we have to live with.
