Unlocking the Mystery: The Surprising Secret to Choosing the Perfect Protagonist
The novel tells the story of how the Jackal buys fake ID, gets a brilliantly disguised sniper rifle, crosses the border into France, makes his way to Paris, chooses his killing ground, and …
You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens next. The novel is brilliant and was a major best-seller in its day. I can’t justify calling the Jackal the protatonist of the story. That honor would go to Claude Lebel, the French detective leading the effort to catch the Jackal before he strikes.
But Lebel gets comparatively little air-time. The Jackal gets more of the action than any other player.
