The Suspect: An Olympic Bombing, the FBI, the Media, and Richard Jewell, the Man Caught in the Middle

When the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Park was bombed in 1996, hundreds of lives were saved by the actions of a vigilant security guard named Richard Jewell who saw a suspicipous bag and raced into action to alert the police and clear the area. The Olympic Games continued, but amid the media scruitny and pressure on law enforcement to find the bomber, Jewell quickly went from hero to a "person of interest" and ultimately many in the media decided he was guilty. This book looks are the events of the bombing and the subsequent investigation and how the intense and unfair focus on Jewell actually let the real culprit free to strike again.
