Book Description:
David Wolfe is a successful American lawyer being primed for a run for Congress. But when the phone rings and he hears the voice of Hana Arif—the Palestinian woman with whom he had a secret affair in law school—he begins a completely unexpected journey.
The next day, the prime minister of Israel is assassinated by a suicide bomber while visiting San Francisco. Soon, Hana is accused of being the mastermind behind the murder. Now David faces an agonizing choice: Will he, a Jew, represent her?
The most challenging case of David’s career requires that he delve deep into the lives of Hana and her militant Palestinian husband, all the way back to Israel and the West Bank. There he uncovers the couple’s dangerous connections…culminating in an explosive trial where the stakes are Hana’s life—and the future of two peoples.

"Exile" is a well- researched, informative novel as to Israeli-Palestinian issues. The plot is somewhat predictable, but still entertaining and a good read.

I don't think I've ever read a book that is more applicable to today's current affairs. This book really offers one rare insights into both sides of the middle eastern issue without any bias of the author.
The way he weaves the central action/plot through this web is extraordiarily remarkable. This book will cross genres and you cannot help but come away changed in some way from having read it.
Action, courtroom thriller, whodunit, etc. This one touches all the bases.

Patterson strays a bit from his normal formula to deliver a long (700+ pages) somewhat pedantic story involving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At his best when he sticks to courtroom scenes, this was still a good read, just not one of his best.
