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. A former Moscow bureau chief for London's Times, Anna Blundy brings plenty of credibility and breezy wit to these fast-paced novels of a woman constantly on the move.

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. It won't be an easy task, however, and Faith will need to watch her back.
