On a stormy Thanksgiving Eve in 1971, a man in a suit and tie boarded a Boeing 727 in Portland under the name Dan Cooper. Hours later, he vanished into the night sky with $200,000 in ransom money - never to be seen again.
No body was found. No parachute was recovered. The money never surfaced, save for a few weathered bills discovered years later. The FBI chased thousands of suspects for decades, but in 2016, it closed the case without an answer.
Who was D. B. Cooper? Did he die in the jump - or walk away and blend into society, living quietly under a new name?
This book takes you deep inside the greatest unsolved hijacking in American history. From the tense moments aboard Flight 305 to the FBI's exhaustive investigation, from citizen sleuths keeping the case alive to modern scientific methods that may yet unmask the man.
If you love true crime, unsolved mysteries, and stories of audacity that defy belief, this book will keep you turning pages late into the night.
D. B. Cooper didn't just hijack a plane.
He hijacked America's imagination.
