Book
The human scale / Lawrence Wright.
"Tony Malik is seriously injured by a terrorist-planted bomb. During his lengthy recuperative process, he learns more about his roots and becomes interested in his father's past and family -- his father came to America years ago from Palestine. He decides to make a trip to his father's homeland to attend the wedding of his niece. As a result of his plans, he is given a simple assignment by his boss at the FBI, partly to see how well he can still do his job. That simple assignment becomes extremely complicated. As soon as he arrives in Gaza, the Israeli police chief overseeing the area is murdered. Malik is at first a suspect. Then, due to his superior investigative skills, he is invited into the Israeli investigation, seeking the murderer. Malik and Yossi, the hardline anti-Arab Israeli police officer leading the investigation must learn to trust each other because, as they move closer to solving the case, they realize there is no one else they can trust on either side.
