Port Townsend, Washington, 2012: On a glorious spring morning, on an idyllic tree-lined street, in the 1939 Art déco beauty called Fairwinds Apartment House, the building’s young, inexperienced manager, Gracie Higgins, discovers a tenant dead in his apartment. She knows him as Henry Abbott. But when authorities find two identities for the reclusive resident, Gracie is quickly drawn into a dizzying case involving an unsolved skyjacking from 1971.

 

D. B. Cooper hijacked the Seattle-bound flight and then jumped—parachute ready and ransom money in hand—from the Boeing 727 into the rugged wilderness of the Pacific Northwest and vanished.

 

It isn’t long before the authorities discover Henry Abbott may not be his real identity. And that isn’t his only secret. It’s a tangled web of lies, betrayal, and murder that begs the question: Who was the man in apartment #3?
