CASE NO. 001: NORJAK NOVEMBER 24, 1971 PORTLAND, OREGON 2:00 P.M. A man in his mid-forties, wearing a suit and overcoat, buys a ticket for Northwest Orient Airlines flight 305 bound for Seattle. 3:07 P.M. The plane takes off. The man gives a note to the flight attendant with his demands: $200,000 in cash and two parachutes. If they are not met, he threatens to detonate the explosive device in his briefcase. So begins the astonishing true story of the man known as D.B. Cooper, the only unsolved airplane hijacking case in the United States. The events of the day, the FBI manhunt that followed, and the surprise discovery nine years later has captured the public imagination for decades. This first book in a new graphic nonfiction series draws from primary source materials including contemporaneous FBI files, creating the sense of an unfolding crime and investigation. Sullivan combines comics panels that evoke the drama of the events, with reproductions of documents and photos, for a truly propulsive read for sleuths of all ages.
