Synopsis

Unread but slightly bumped to corners, light shelf wear, reflected in price. An action packed thriller featuring war reporters amidst the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. War reporting at its most fearsome, fun, bitchy and brave best. (fic)

About this title

Review:

"From The Bad News Bible's very first page, author Blundy's pointed, caustic style whisks the reader..... -- January Magazine (The Rap Sheet ) April 2004

From the Author:

This book is about Faith Zanetti, a war correspondent, who is loosely based on me. I say loosely because I am a housewife who doesn't smoke or drink and she is a war correspondent who chain smokes and drinks a lot of neat vodka. She is brave and funny and beautiful and in this book she's in Jerusalem investigating a friend's violent death and reporting on the ongoing war. Faith and her friends spend most of their time in the bar and they are all irreverent and hilarious. I'm an insider here to the extent that my dad was a war correspondent and I spent a lot of time when I was little sitting in the bar at the American Colony Hotel in Jerusalem where this book's set, listening the war stories and the gossip. Dad was killed in El Salvador in 1989. I was a journalist myself for ten years, mostly for the Times, and I was the Times correspondent in Moscow in the late nineties. Hope you'll love the book! Anna.
