As stated previously the script for the Peacock series uses the majority of the details from the book and as with most, characters are changed along with premise. The series substitutes a black female MI6 agent for the French police and adds a second target to the mix. Great story regardless

Given it's publishing date of 71, Forsyth does a masterful job creating one of the most deceptive, cold blooded assassins fathomable.

My only complaint about this book is overuse of back story related to those who hire the Jackal
