The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth
It is a slow-burning thriller copied many times since; I appreciated this one more than enjoyed it. Forsyth doesn’t shy away from delving into the mundane detail of the assassination caper. Nevertheless, while the book meanders down some lonely byways, an appropriate tension is maintained right through to the final set-piece.
