![]() ![]() What of a prequel though? Perhaps with Cubans, the KGB and the mafia? Was the Jackal at the Grassy Knoll in Dallas at 12.30 pm that day?įorsyth's young Jackal dreamt of a better life, pressing 'his nose to the travel agent's window,' gazing at the posters, 'another life, another world, far from the drudgery of the commuter train and the forms in triplicate, the paper clips and tepid tea.' Not the purposeful dream of a future 007 who was briefly an Etonian, and for whom the privilege of summering in the French Riviera is a given. With the Jackal buried in an unmarked grave in a Paris cemetery - visited only by Lebel, his ultimate vanquisher - there would be little chance of Jason Bourne-type sequels. ![]()
