He wrote a LOT of bestsellers mostly back in the 70s and 80s. 
He really lived a life that reads like a fiction bestseller .. R I P Freddie

    RIP - my favourite author. Loved all his novels with Day of the Jackal obviously the centrepiece of his career.

    it wasn't a great film, but the 4th Protocol was a good (long) read.

    One of my favs of his is 'The Devil's Alternative' .. almost relevant today as is deals with Ukraine & Russia though in a  different context .. don't agree with the book's conclusion though, very harsh
