Details
In British-occupied Palestine after World War One, a beleaguered London painter and his American wife witness the murder of an Orthodox Jew. She is drawn into an affair with the British investigating officer, while he seeks solace in painting. Each had come to Palestine to escape grief, and were forced to confront the political and personal issues they had left behind.
A Palestine Affair was published in the USA by Pantheon/Anchor, a division of Random House in July 2004.

“A swift little mystery-romance… Crisply written… Wonderfully rich in period detail and atmosphere…” – Seattle Weekly
