Foreign correspondent Faith Zanetti has her dream job: She lives in swanky overseas hotels, on somebody else's dime, and she's in nearly constant danger of being blown up. What's the appeal? With enough sniper-fire, nobody counts your drinks or your inappropriate one-night stands. And with tomorrow's newspaper deadline always looming, there's never time to think about the things you should have done differently. But when Faith's best friend and favorite drinking pal is murdered, there isn't enough vodka in Israel to blot out the pain she's spent a lifetime running from. In fact, there's only one possible response: Light a cigarette and go after the story.
This book is powerful and moving, not to mention thrilling and exiting. Seriously, Anna Blundy delivers a fine balance of adventure and emotion in this book, which is undoubtedly her best, I would say, excepting that I have not read Double Shot yet.
funny and exciting

Don't read this book if you are trying to understand the Israel Palestine situation, do read it if you are interested in the world of ravaged war correspondents. Faith Zanetti is hilarious and astutely observed as are her friends and enemies in the press pack.
