内容简介：
“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-mannered
passenger on a Northwest Orient flight in 1971. It was the start of
one of the most astonishing whodunits in the history of American
true crime: how one man extorted $200,000 from an airline, then
parachuted into the wilds of the Pacific Northwest and into
oblivion. D. B. Cooper’s case has become the stuff of legend and
obsessed and cursed his pursuers with everything from bankruptcy to
suicidal despair. Now with Skyjack, journalist Geoffrey Gray delves
into this unsolved mystery uncovering new leads in the infamous
case.
Starting with a tip from a private investigator into a promising
suspect (a Cooper lookalike, Northwest employee, and trained
paratrooper), Gray is propelled into the murky depths of a
decades-old mystery, conducting new interviews and obtaining a
first-ever look at Cooper’s FBI file. Beginning with a
heartstopping and unprecedented recreation of the crime itself,
from cabin to cockpit to tower, and uncanny portraits of characters
who either chased Cooper or might have committed the crime,
including Ralph Himmelsbach, the most dogged of FBI agents, who
watched with horror as a criminal became a counter-culture folk
hero who supposedly shafted the system…Karl Fleming, a respected
reporter whose career was destroyed by a Cooper scoop that was a
scam…and Barbara (nee Bobby) Dayton, a transgendered pilot who
insisted she was Cooper herself.
With explosive new information and exclusive access to FBI files
and forensic evidence, Skyjack reopens one of the great cold cases
of the 20th century.

媒体评论
“Out of the wild blue yonder comes this pleasing tale of
obsession and mystery. Geoffrey Gray has essentially parachuted
into the early 1970s and found a nearly forgotten episode that
elucidates a swath of our cultural history. The result is a clean,
smart whodunit full of quirky characters, imaginative sleuthing,
and thrilling surprises.”
—Hampton Sides, author of Hellhound on His Trail
“Here is writing and storytelling that is vivid and fresh—a
delectable adventure from a talented new author.”
—Gay Talese
“With verve and assurance worthy of his protagonist, Geoffrey
Gray pulls readers along on a kaleidoscopic chase through the cult
of Cooper. Both a masterful re-creation of the paranoid 1970s, and
an exhilarating firsthand account of an erosive obsession, Skyjack
takes us down the rabbit hole with Gray—and what a journey it
is.”
—James Swanson, author of Manhunt and Bloody Crimes
“Who was D.B. Cooper? In SKYJACK, Geoffrey Gray lures in the
reader with this iconic unsolved mystery, and for the next 290
pages explores a story as attention-grabbing as a bag of hot money.
D.B. Cooper emerges as the great McGuffin of 1970s America, a prism
through which Gray exploits to the fullest with his propulsive
writing style, mad commitment to detail, and explores everything
from the early years of gender reassignment surgery to the birth of
airline security culture to the ghostly legends of the Pacific
Northwest's Dark Divide.”
—Evan Wright, New York Times bestselling author of Generation
Kill
“SKYJACK tells the legendary story of D.B. Cooper in a way that’s
as inventive and as engaging as the subject itself. Only a writer
as talented as Geoffrey Gray could knit together the many strands
of this mystery and the extraordinary characters who have
dedicated, and in some cases destroyed, their lives in pursuit of
the truth. Just as Gray finds himself sucked into the tale, readers
will leap into the void alongside him, landing on their feet and
smiling at the shared adventure.”
—Mitchell Zuckoff, author of Lost in Shangri-La: A True Story of
Survival, Adventure, and the Most Incredible Rescue Mission of
World War II
“Easily one of the most delightful books I’ve read in a long,
long time. In his obsessive search for answers in the legendary
case, Gray becomes a little unhinged himself as well as
encountering an array of characters I haven’t seen the likes of
since Mark Twain sent Huck down the Mississippi. His style fits the
case, and Gray can be compared with Tom Wolfe and Evelyn Waugh in
his talent for unearthing the eccentrics of the world and the
bizarreness of life.”
—John Bowers, Associate Professor of Writing, Columbia
University, author of The Colony and Love in Tennessee
“…An exciting journey into the byways of popular culture. This is
hardly the first book about Cooper, but it may be the first to
treat his story for what it has become: an ongoing phenomenon, like
the search for Bigfoot, with a remarkable ability to consume the
imaginations and lives of generations of searchers.”
—Booklist, Starred
“Gray organizes this, his first book, like a Tarantino film,
cutting chronology into strips, then reassembling them in a
sequence that readers may consider (pick one) eccentric, confusing,
artistic, random, maddening, fun, revelatory. It's all of the
above.”--Cleveland Plain Dealer
