Book Description:

'Exile is an astonishing book, a hugely entertaining human drama that also offers remarkable insight into the lethal conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Richard North Patterson has outdone himself - Exile is his best novel yet.' Bill Clinton 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.

Suddenly David finds himself in a situation with enormous global and political implications as well as emotional ones.

It turns out to be an occasion of desperate, tragic and far reaching consequences...
