Summary:
Jack Shaw has experienced the terror first-hand. He's top CIA agent who's tracked international killer for hire Carlos, The Jackal, Sanchez for over twenty years and barely survived Carlos' devastating bombing of a Parisian cafe. Now, he finally gets a break when he discovers Carlos' dead ringer who would impersonate Carlos throughout a series of harrowing physical and psychological exercises and draw the real killer out of hiding and into an elaborate trap.
