A thrilling new graphic nonfiction series about real FBI cases,
launching with a gripping, minute-by-minute account of the only
unsolved airplane hijacking in the U.S.
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 man presents his demands: $200,000 in cash and four parachutes. If
the demands 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,
and the only unsolved airplane hijacking case in the United States.
Comic panels, reproductions of documents from real FBI files, and
photos from the investigation combine for a thrilling read for sleuths
of all ages.
What better way to draw readers into nonfiction than through an
exciting graphic novel? This series will appeal to readers of series
such as Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales. Fans of history and whodunits,
CSI-club kids, and graphic novel enthusiasts alike will be pulled in by
the suspenseful, complex, and kid-appropriate cases in this series.
Sidebars provide fun facts about pre-2001 air travel, serial numbers on
currency, airplane design, and more. Backmatter showcases period photos
and primary source material in FBI archives.
