«Chacal» is the suspense novel by Frederick Forsyth, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
A professional killer nicknamed Chacal is hired to kill French president Charles de Gaulle. Police and secret services try to stop him with scarce clues while a visit by the general is being prepared. Forsyth, who had covered De Gaulle's travels for Reuters, turned that experience into a novel of suspense and conspiracy.
Originally published in 1971 as The Day of the Jackal, it received in 1972 the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel and the Martin Beck Award.
A work for readers of espionage thrillers and political suspense looking for a classic of the genre.
