Faith Zanetti isn't covering Israel out of some kind of altruism. She's there because she got posted there by the fat drunk who is her foreign editor. And she loves it. It's hot, it's complicated, there's always some action and her friends are there, slouched at the bar of Jerusalem's American Colony hotel. But when Faith finds the naked corpse of her best friend, Shiv, hanging from the doorframe of her hotel room, she can't keep her journalistic distance any more...

"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
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.
