The story
The far-right Organisation armée secrète ("Secret Army Organisation") plots to assassinate President de Gaulle.
They enlist the services of an apolitical British assassin given the code name "The Jackal," a figure already credited with the assassinations of Patrice Lumumba and Rafael Trujillo.
Preparing for his mission, the Jackal travels to Genoa where he commissions a custom single-shot rifle from a skilled gunsmith and secures fake identity papers, later killing the forger when he attempts to extort him.
