David Wolfe's life is approaching an exhilarating peak: he's a successful San Francisco lawyer, he's about to get married, and he's 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 herself is accused of being the mastermind behind the murder. Now David faces an agonizing choice: Will he, a Jew, represent Hana-who may well be guilty-or will he turn away the one woman he can never forget? This recording includes a bonus interview with the author and CNN Senior Analyst Jeff Greenfield.
Patterson presents a complex yet compelling story involving the assassination of the prime minister of Israel, the first suicide bombing in the U.S., a Palestinian woman accused of masterminding the murder, and her Jewish defense lawyer. Patterson also provides background on the never-ending strife between Israel and Palestine. Despite the multifaceted plot and the mind-numbing human rights issues that surround it, narrator Dennis Boutsikaris delivers a seamless narrative, engaging listeners at every turn. Regardless of character, location, gender, or situation, his words flow like fine wine. Boutsikaris's narration and Patterson's words serve to challenge listeners to confront this centuries-old Middle East tragedy. This audio edition concludes with a don't-miss feature, a CNN interview with the author. T.J.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
