The Day of the Jackal

How often does the author reveal the end and still keep you engaged?

Seriously, early in the narrative, the reader is told how the story will end. Then, despite knowing better, we grind our teeth right to the finish.

Complex, but accessible. Detailed, while economical. Righteous fun, though ultimately dark and morose. It's no wonder this is heralded as one of the best apt-fiction novels available. Intelligence collection, counterintelligence, investigation, espionage, assassination plots... what more do you want?
