Highlights:
- The book split into three 'Anatomy' parts is aptly named. The three parts literally dissect and show all that there is to assassinate a big shot.
- The 1 st part, about the Jackal and his plans to the minute details is riveting to say the least
- The 2nd part, about the commisaire's tracing of his killer suspect gives an idea of the intelligence that deals with big scale crimes
- The 3rd part, in comparison with the first two, is a tad low on what it offers but it paves the way for a thrilling finish!
