Man of the Hour
ByPublisher Description
Coney Island is a weird place, packed with people from every walk of life, and David Fitzgerald fits in well. An English professor at a tough public school, he works hard to connect with students with whom he has little in common. Sometimes he succeeds; sometimes he fails. But one of his failures is about to become a catastrophe.
A former student of David's, Nasser Hamdy, has fallen in with a group of Islamic extremists who practice a cheap kind of jihad, mugging and robbing in the name of their holy war. But when they graduate to bomb-making, David finds himself wrapped up in their scheme—first as a target, and then as a suspect.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Blauner including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

“An awesome read by Peter Blauner. Gets you right into the mind of a jihad terrorist and the man who is originally blamed for the bomb exploding in the school bus. Keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire book.”
