His media appearances are made to look sinister. His livelihood is taken away. Even his right to see his own son is threatened. Transformed from hero to pariah, he has to put his life back together -- and finding the real bomber appears to be his only way out."Man of The Hour" is a taut, thoughtful thriller that should follow The Intruder onto the bestseller lists.
