MEDIA REVIEWS
'Mr Forsyth is clever. Very clever and immensely entertaining.'- The Daily Telegraph
'It is no exaggeration to say The Day of the Jackal has influenced a generation of thriller writers... Before,thrillers were self-evidently works of the imagination. Forsyth changed all that; never before had a popular novelist created a world that seemed indistinguishable from real life... Few writers can claim to have changed the literary landscape. Forty years ago,a penniless British journalist,unwittingly or not,did just that'- The Guardian
