pickI loved this NF book that I added to my TBR following Holly‘s review @Hooked_on_books and thanks to @TrishB for stalking said TBR and sending me it as a pressie!
It‘s a subject I didn‘t know anything about - a security guard at the Atlanta Olympics who saved lives when he spotted a suspicious package, but was then pursued as the only suspect, leaving the actual bomber to wreak more destruction.
Definitely in my #20bestof2020 #NFedition
TrishB Always good when you get a late great read in the year! 4y
Hooked_on_books I‘m so glad you liked it! I remember hearing a bit about the story when it happened, but then it completely went off my radar. I think they were smart to write this years later rather than too soon. It gives it a bit more heft. 4y
Crazeedi I knew about the grave injustice this man suffered. And I think the lawyer who defended him was Lin Wood? Very sad that sometimes the pursuit of justice leads to easy answers instead of the truth . Adding 4y

squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books - you‘re right, a much better book for having waited. The outcome for many of the MCs was sad though. 4y
squirrelbrain Yes, that‘s right Crazeedi, although I just had to look him up as I wondered why you knew him. He‘s certainly had an interesting career! 4y
Oryx I watched a film about this recently - crazy story! Recommend the film - I think it's just called Richard Jewel 4y
squirrelbrain I‘ll check the film out soon @Oryx - hubby said he might try the book but he might prefer the film... 4y
Cinfhen Oh...thanks for reminding me about this book, Helen!!!! 4y
