To the Ends of the Earth: Hunt for the Jackal

In 1985 David Yallop set out to find the world's most wanted man, real name Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, better known as Carlos, or Carlos the Jackal. It took him 8 years to find him and his search took him to the ends of the earth. More dramatic than Frederick Forsyth's legendary bestseller, this destined - like 'In God's Name' - to be a worldwide bestseller.

David Yallop's previous book, In God's Name, was translated into nearly forty languages, sold more thna 4 million copies worldwide, and won the Crime Writer's Gold Dagger Award for the best non-fiction book of the year in 1984. It was an investigation into the death of Pope John Paul I. His other books are To Encourage the Others, which has twice forced the British Governemnt to reopne the Craig/Bentley murder case; The Day the Laughter Stopped, a biography of Fatty Arbuckle that pothumously rehabilitated him and soved a 50-year-old murder mystery; Beyond Reasonable Doubt?, which led directly to the release from prison of a man serving a life sentence for double murder, and Deliver Us From Evil, an investigation that established the truth about the Yorkshire Ripper seven months before Peter Sutcliffe was arrested.
