Three Days of the Condor Structure

Act I of Three Days of the Condor is very effective in giving us a mystery as to why Condor's workplace is 'hit'. It becomes clear there' a cover-up when he is attacked in the alley when he is expecting simply to be 'brought in' by the CIA. Excellent use of Frensham's First and Second Focus Point concept in Act II. Like Flight Plan, where the protagonist possesses a skill set that proves essential in their provocation of the climax Sequences, Condor is effective in bringing his would-be assassin out into the open and finding out who is behind the 'CIA-within-the-CIA'. Overall, a first-class thriller template.
