Description:
In 1971, D.B. Cooper extorted $200,000 from Northwest Orient airlines. Once the plane was in the air, Cooper jumped out of the rear stairwell and parachuted to safety; neither he nor the money were ever seen again. This is the only unsolved airplane hijacking in the United States.

Review Quotes:
"This stranger-than-fiction saga thrives thanks to spectacular design choices: 'Dick Tracy'--esque hard-boiled cartooning; rugged, mechanical typefaces; and a bevy of files, folders, and miscellaneous paperwork come together to form a fabulous criminal collage. A compulsively readable series debut." - Kirkus Reviews
"Sporting a comic book's sensibility with a Common Core State Standard's love of primary documents and a narrative voice you'd follow to the ends of the earth, THIS is what we need to see more of, people!" - Fuse #8 Blog/School Library Journal
