Book description
David Wolfe is an ambitious former homicide prosecutor who is planning
to run for Congress. A political dinner for the Israeli Prime Minister
is hosted by his current girlfriend, Carole Shorr, a liberal supporter
of both the Palestinian and Israeli causes. But when David receives a
call from Hana Ashawi, a Palestinian woman who was David's classmate at
Harvard Law School, he is rattled. Hana was more than a peer - she was
his lover. When, furthermore, the Israeli Prime Minister is
assassinated, apparently by Hana's partner, David finds himself thrown
into a situation with enormous global, political and emotional
implications.
'An astonishing book, ahugely entertaining human drama that also offers
remarkable insight into the lethal conflict between the Israelis and the
Palestinians. Richard North Patterson has outdone himself - Exile
is his best novel yet.' BILL CLINTON
'If you like political thrillers with a legal dimension this is a fine
example of the genre: a strong story about a real dilemma with colourful
characters' Daily Mail
'Every now and then - but a lot more rarely than that implies - you
come across a thriller so important that it absolutely demands to be
read. This is one...' The Times
