The Day of the J[ac]K[a]L

In 1966, Frederick Forsyth was working for the BBC, then quit shortly thereafter to cover the Nigerian Civil War on his own terms, as a freelance journalist.  If he is to be believed, he was also enlisted around this time as a spy by MI6 (the acronym derived from its designation as section 6 of Military Intel during the build-up to WWII, but more formally, and for a longer period of time referred to as SIS, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service), again, if he is to be believed, in an unpaid and decades-long relationship.

When his nonfiction account of the war (The Biafra Story, published in 1969), failed miserably, he turned to writing spy fiction, approaching it as if he were still an investigative journalist.  The Day of the Jackal is arguably his finest work.  Taut, intelligent, believable, and naturally, leaving an inexplicable thread hanging at the end (there is no better Easter egg in modern literature than the initial letters of the suspected assassin's first and last name, Charles Calthrop, corresponding to the French word for Jackal), it predated Ludlum's Bourne Identity by nine years, but obviously gestated Jason Bourne and a host of other ubermensch with otherworldly and seemingly incongruous abilities (e.g. Jonathan Hemlock of The Eiger Sanction, who was not just a renowned art collector but also an accomplished mountain climber - although Rodney Whitaker, pen name Trevanian, claimed until his death he never read anything after the 19th century - BTW, a nice twisty introduction to Trevanian, if you're unfamiliar, is the 1983 dollop titled The Summer of Katya).

Meanwhile, in the summer of 1966, Frank Lane was calling and teaching callers the art of square dance, and, yes, we have a winner.  Halfway through (although not halfway through the alphabet, the back end letters doing very little to hold up their end of the bargain), we have found our first confirmed living representative (who, incidentally, still has the same phone number) among 1100 entries.  Sadly for Frank and his lovely wife Barbara, he already gets free coffee on those Saturdays they are able to attend, and he has no use for doughnuts.  So perhaps an autographed copy of Jackal would be in order.  Incidentally, the initial first few letters of Frank's first and last name spell the German equivalent of "Grandmother".
