Synopsis

War correspondent Faith Zanetti is newly posted to Moscow. She has been here before, back when the communists were still in power, food shortages were a way of life, public services were collapsing and people were getting away with murder. Literally. Moscow has changed now and so has Faith, but, behind the fast-paced glamour of the new Russia, ghosts from the bleak Soviet past are gathering to haunt her. She deals with terrorist bombs and bizarre prison stories, digs up the bones of her impulsive teenage marriage and grapples with her occasional lover, Eden Jones. Now she's got to fight to stop things spiralling out of control and it's not going to be easy. Sharply observed, honest, moving and totally compulsive, NEAT VODKA is a girl's own adventure for the adrenaline junkie in all of us.

About this title

Review

It's impossible not to fall for Faith Zanetti. She has a great sense of humour - and this is where journalist Anna Blundy really shines, because it requires nifty footwork on the part of a writer to produce a funny thriller without diluting the thrills and trivialising serious issues. Sharp and hilarious (GUARDIAN)

Speaking of books, I read a great one. It's by a writer called Anna Blundy and it's about a detectivey journalist and it's set in Moscow and it totally captures Russia and is good fun and gripping and well-written and interesting and moving and I enjoyed (Marian Keyes)

She [Faith Zanetti] is the ultimate anti-heroine . . .A witty page-turner which keeps you laughing, and guessing, right to the end (SUNDAY EXPRESS)

A funny, clever thriller (LITERARY REVIEW)
