On the evening of 22 August 1963, Lebel deduces that the Jackal has decided to target de Gaulle on Liberation Day, 25 August, the day commemorating the liberation of Paris during World War II. It is, he realises, the one day of the year when de Gaulle can definitely be counted on to be in Paris and to appear in public.
