THE SKY THIEF
Christian Hill
IT WAS DECISION TIME.
HE FELT FOR THE HANDLE. SHUT HIS EYES. IT WOULD TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO KNOW IF IT HAD WORKED.
OR IF HE WAS GOING TO HIT THE GROUND AND DIE.
In 1971, a man known as D.B. Cooper hijacked an American scheduled airline and demanded 200,000 dollars and a parachute be brought on board. Then, he left the plane.
What did he do next?
Thirty-five years later, a boy named Rusty meets an old man called Carter who shows him that “you always get a second chance…”
* Two stories packed with adventure, acts of bravery and humanity, weaved together with narrative mastery.
*A powerfully honest and moving story, with a surprising twist.
