Our detective figures out that his investigation has been (unwittingly) compromised by a French colonel who has kept his mistress (in on the plot) informed about the investigation. Jackal seduces Countess at a hotel, paints his white car blue (!) to disguise it, follows the Countess to her estate. She discovers the rifle; he murders her; takes her car; transforms into Danish reverend. In Paris, he transforms again, this time into an American.
Detective LaBelle uses international help to learn about stolen passports that the Jackal might be using. All very exciting . . . the Jackal is in Paris looking for a chance to kill de Gaulle. Final section coming up. I suspect this did very well in a French translation.
I once painted my own car using a sprayer. Took all day and ended up a total mess. I find it very hard to believe the Jackal was able to paint his Alfa Romeo blue in a couple of hours and not have it look terrible. Willing suspension of disbelief.
