Il ladro dei cieli

by Hill Christian, Hill Christian, Hill Christian
Il ladro dei cieli

“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 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, woven together with narrative mastery.
* A powerfully honest and moving story, with a surprising twist.
