Then he vanished out the jet’s back door and became an instant legend. Now a determined citizen sleuth has assembled a forty-member cold case team, spearheaded by former FBI agents, to solve the mystery of D. B. Cooper. And after a five-year quest, they believe they have succeeded—with a fugitive at trail’s end. The team’s relentless investigation and final confrontation with the mystery man serve as the bookends in The Last Master Outlaw. The subject’s astonishing life story as a daredevil fills the remaining chapters, the bulk of which comes from the heartwarming, gut-wrenching accounts of six of his women—two former wives; his only sister; a befriended college coed; a “getaway gal” he met up with during two more FBI escapes, both again involving planes; and a Hollywood producer who was also his cocaine-trade partner. Buckle your seatbelts as this Jekyll-and-Hyde ladies’ man travels through five countries, utilizing more than a dozen identities, wigs, and fake mustaches while engaging in a half-dozen careers and raising three families. Then be a witness as the cornered chameleon is forced to face the truth in front of the cameras of a dogged cold case team, which was armed and ready for any eventuality. Review: Outstanding and compellingly engaging. - Full disclosure: I know the author/lead investigator Tom Colbert via our mutual membership at a gym. Our association ends there, but I should note that Tom was the impetus for pointing me to this book as I would most likely not have found it otherwise. And am I so very glad to have gotten his recommendation. A fascinating and page turning read. I was in law school when the hijacking occurred and have wondered through the years about the who, how, why, etc. of this crime. Colbert and his team have clearly done exhaustive work in assembling their study and in reaching their conclusion. I am by nature a contrarian and a skeptic, (as well as a long ago criminal defense practitioner before I moved into corporate work) and as such I cannot say I come away 100% convinced "beyond a reasonable doubt". At least not quite yet, as I am now consumed thanks to this book in wanting to learn more, including following Tom's ongoing FOIA suit versus the FBI for release of the FBI files. If Robert Rackstraw was not the hijacker, the expose of his life and deeds is fascinating in itself. But convinced or not regarding the hijacking, this is an outstanding read, well written, fast paced, and supported by copious footnotes. In fact I read it twice back to back as I had let myself miss several key bits in my hasty first read. I suspect this book and the continuing efforts of Tom and his team may very well lead to the definitive and incontestable answer to this amazing whodunnit. Very highly recommended. Review: Perseverance works! - This book (and the accompanying History Channel program) affected me on many levels. It is a thriller, it is a master class on investigative journalism, and it is a sad commentary on the state of the FBI, and the degeneration of the rule of law in this country. Some people may wonder why it matters - Cooper didn't injure or kill anyone - no he didn't, but what he did was essentially an act of domestic terrorism. He inspired fear for airline passengers and inspired copy cats to try to repeat his act of terrorism. I was a child in the 70's, but I remember the news when some of the money was found in 1980 and my late Father (who was an Army veteran) and my older brother discussing the found money, and my Dad told my brother "that was never about money, that was a gotcha". I didn't understand what he meant till I read this book. What is even scarier to me than a man like Cooper/Rackstraw is that fact that a private citizen had to go to court to get to the truth because our government will protect a criminal - as long as they also perform criminal acts for our government. That should concern everyone. Congratulations and thank you to Thomas Colbert and the entire team, knowing that there are still people who believe that truth still matters and are willing to work towards it gives me hope. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,771,697 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10,855 in True Crime (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 318 Reviews | ## Images ![The Last Master Outlaw: How He Outfoxed the FBI Six Times But Not A Cold Case Team - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911P7KJ50TL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding and compellingly engaging. *by R***Y on January 7, 2017* Full disclosure: I know the author/lead investigator Tom Colbert via our mutual membership at a gym.

It kept me wanting to turn the pages. And for his many faults, Rackstraw’s charisma comes through , and he is an interesting subject. There are intriguing claims and bits of circumstantial evidence (particularly Rackstraw s relationship with Dick Briggs), but I’m not convinced that R was DB Cooper simply because the photo of R from October 1971 shows a fuller face and more hair than the 1970 Army shot that the authors keep trying to use as evidence of a resemblance to the sketch of the highjacker. I also agree with other reviewers that there are contradictions in the authors’ claims and attempts to link circumstantial evidence that doesn’t really add up. Cooper may have been a master outlaw, but Rackstraw may only have been an outlaw and only so much of that, as you’ll see if you read the book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/64389754-the-last-master-outlaw-how-he-outfoxed-the-fbi-six](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/64389754-the-last-master-outlaw-how-he-outfoxed-the-fbi-six) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-15*
