Forsyth, Frederick - The Day of the Jackal (Published in by The Folio Society in 2014. Bound in paper. Set in Haarlemmer with Verkehr display. 408 pages. 15 black & white illustrations. Book size: 9.5" x 6.25". Introduced by Ken Follett. In this first illustrated edition of The Day of the Jackal, Tatsuro Kiuchi's superb images evoke the clock-ticking tension of Frederick Forsyth's much-imitated thriller. A man stands blindfolded and tied to a stake in a courtyard; a car snakes through the angular landscape of the Alpes Maritimes; a melon resembles a human head as it hangs from a tree, fixed within the sights of a sniper's rifle. Published in 1971 to rave reviews, The Day of the Jackal tells the story of an assassin hired by a French dissident paramilitary organisation to kill Charles de Gaulle. )
