Summary

An ambitious young lawyer takes on his biggest case: the televised murder trial of a woman he still loves...

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 great story with amazing insight in to a complex backdrop

I read this story many years ago and always felt I should returns to it as an audio book.
I was not disappointed. A gigantic canvas was used for the story, with complex and contentious strands for the writer to pull together and he did it, exceptionally well.
All of the chances for the writer to add an opinion, inadvertently or not, were avoided.
The characters throughout had dimensions to them.
The performer delivered the story so well, so as to bring the whole package together as a ‘page turner’. I struggled to turn it off.

Excellent read

This was one of the best books I have read for a long time. The storyline was gripping and I could not put it down. Hope there is a follow on to this story. I will be first to buy it.

A story with a Palestinian Israeli background

A court case involving a palestian terrorist and a us lawyer. The scenes on the West Bank are sanitised otherwise it is good, if pro Israeli.
