　　“I have a bomb here and I would like you to sit by me.”

  That was the note handed to a stewardess by a mild-manneredpassenger on a Northwest Orient flight in 1971. It was the start ofone of the most astonishing whodunits in the history of Americantrue crime: how one man extorted $200,000 from an airline, thenparachuted into the wilds of the Pacific Northwest and intooblivion. D. B. Cooper’s case has become the stuff of legend andobsessed and cursed his pursuers with everything from bankruptcy tosuicidal despair. Now with Skyjack, journalist Geoffrey Gray delvesinto this unsolved mystery uncovering new leads in the infamouscase.

  Starting with a tip from a private investigator into a promisingsuspect (a Cooper lookalike, Northwest employee, and trainedparatrooper), Gray is propelled into the murky depths of adecades-old mystery, conducting new interviews and obtaining afirst-ever look at Cooper’s FBI file. Beginning with aheartstopping and unprecedented recreation of the crime itself,from cabin to cockpit to tower, and uncanny portraits of characterswho either chased Cooper or might have committed the crime,including Ralph Himmelsbach, the most dogged of FBI agents, whowatched with horror as a criminal became a counter-culture folkhero who supposedly shafted the system…Karl Fleming, a respectedreporter whose career was destroyed by a Cooper scoop that was ascam…and Barbara (nee Bobby) Dayton, a transgendered pilot whoinsisted she was Cooper herself.

  With explosive new information and exclusive access to FBI filesand forensic evidence, Skyjack reopens one of the great cold casesof the 20th century. 　　GEOFFREY GRAY writes about crime, politics,sports, travel and food. He is a contributing editor at NewYork Magazine, covered boxing for The New York Times andfor programs like This American Life, writes for othernewspapers and magazines, and once drove an ice-cream truck.SKYJACK is his first book.
