Cooper hijacked Flight 305, Portland to Seattle, with a fake bomb, collected a ransom of $200,000, and then parachuted from the rear of the plane, disappearing into the night and into history. Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast takes on a bizarre and gruesome case, in Bloodless-Pendergast Series Bk 20 (AUCD F PRE D) by Preston and Child, a brutal crime steeped in legend and malevolence. In the ghost-haunted city of Savannah, Georgia, bodies are found with no blood left in their veins, sowing panic and reviving whispered tales of the infamous Savannah Vampire.
