"In this lacerating novel, Wright draws on years of experience in Israel and Palestine to forge a layered tale of intrigue and betrayal. It is a novel of hard truths; a bitter indictment of the corrupt, cruel leaders on both sides who have caused immeasurable suffering." --Geraldine Brooks; Pulitzer Prize winning novelist, "In this lacerating novel, Wright draws on years of experience in Israel and Palestine to forge a layered tale of intrigue and betrayal. It is a novel of hard truths; a bitter indictment of the corrupt, cruel leaders on both sides who have caused immeasurable suffering." --Geraldine Brooks; Pulitzer Prize winning novelist "Wright's The Human Scale , set in Hebron, is a furnace of conflict between Israeli settlers and Palestinian terrorists but also between ordinary Israelis and ordinary Palestinians, an unsettlingly relentless suspenseful portrait of terror, intolerance and cruelty on both sides, on all sides, tempered by humanity, family and love, packed with knowledge and facts, a ticking bomb of a book that explodes in Hamas's October 7 slaughter - this is the first October 7 novel." --Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Jerusalem "Wright, a renowned journalist and novelist fluent in the paradoxes and tragedies of the Middle East, brings all his knowledge and compassion to this profoundly insightful thriller, creating involving, conflicted, and thoughtful characters trapped in horrific predicaments and a riveting story that reveals the deep trauma of Israelis, the brutality of the Israeli occupation, the fury and despair of Palestinians, the opposing religious convictions that stoke and sanctify perpetual violence, and the criminality that funds it. As the action leads inexorably to the October 7 Hamas attack and massacre, Wright considers the scale on which we weigh the value of human lives and the perpetual struggle for peace." -- Booklist (starred review) "Like the universe, The Human Scale begins with a big bang. . . . In a fiction created with what he calls "a mix of compassion and anger," Wright offers a comprehensive view of what Sara Ben-Gal. . . terms "the world capital of hatred." Among Wright's large cast of characters are Jewish fundamentalists and Muslim terrorists, as well as idealists who yearn for harmonious coexistence between two kindred peoples. . . . Nothing is what it seems in a world rife with clandestine collaborators, and drug dealers. . . . Wright's journalistic skills are evident. . . . But The Human Scale is primarily a thriller, with enough violent action as it rides cycles of vengeance to merit an extra box of popcorn. . . . Ripped from the headlines, this is a ripping good story about a fractured world we cannot ignore." --Steven G.

The Human Scale is part crime novel and part political manifesto. Ending on Oct. 8, 2023, the book is a haunting plea for justice. . . The story is spellbinding." -- Foreign Policy

Synopsis
In this sweeping, timely thriller, a Palestinian American FBI agent teams up with a hardline Israeli cop to solve the murder of the Israeli police chief in Gaza--from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower and The End of October . "A layered tale of intrigue and betrayal."--Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of March and Horse Tony Malik, a half-Irish, half-Arab FBI agent based in New York, specializes in tracking money from drug and arms deals. His life takes a dramatic turn when a long-term relationship ends and his job hangs in the balance. Amid personal turmoil, Malik becomes intrigued by his Palestinian father's past. He decides to visit his ancestral homeland for his niece's wedding, accepting a seemingly simple FBI assignment along the way. Upon arrival in the West Bank, Malik's world is upended when the Israeli police chief is murdered. Initially a suspect, Malik's investigative prowess soon earns him a place in the Israeli investigation. At the heart of the story is Malik's complex relationship with Yossi, the hardline anti-Arab Israeli police officer leading the case. They 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. Lawrence Wright populates the novel with richly drawn characters: Yossi's daughter studying in Paris, Malik's niece whose wedding is shattered by violence, her peacenik fiancé with ties to Hamas, and a cast of religious leaders, corrupt cops, and militants on both sides. Through these intersecting lives, Wright weaves an intricate tapestry that culminates in the devastating Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. More than a thriller, Wright's novel explores the complex history between Israel and Palestine, revealing the tragic human scale of this long-standing conflict and offering a nuanced perspective on a tragedy that continues to shape the region and the world.
