"Sixteen years after reporter Faith Zanetti left Russia, she returns to Moscow as a correspondent for a London newspaper only to be charged with a double murder her shady estranged husband, Dimitri Sakhnov, confessed to committing back in 1989. Faith learns Dimitri has recanted, fingering her as the killer. But when Faith visits the psychiatric prison where Dimitri is incarcerated, she discovers Dimitri is actually Adrian Smith, an old American friend gone Russian whom Dimitri has framed. While Adrian, who soon dies under suspicious circumstances, tells Faith Dimitri is dead, Faith suspects otherwise, and with the help of her boyfriend, a New Yorker staff writer on assignment in Russia, she gets on Dimitri's trail. This bracing portrait of an alcoholic, chain-smoking career woman struggling to recover her balance will leave American readers eager for more of Faith Zanetti's adventures."

"Buoyant, smart, racy, and compelling. Anna Blundy has written a page-turner as intoxicating as Smirnoff."- Tina Brown "A mesmerizing thriller with a sexy and sharp heroine...Anna Blundy has vividly captured today's Moscow and its electric undercurrents."- Walter Isaacson "A drop of the hard stuff, administered tenderly by someone who's obviously been there."- Christopher Hitchens "Sharp and hilarious...it's impossible not to fall for Faith Zanetti, the kind of girl to make your mother shudder and your father drool. She's Bridget Jones on rocket fuel-strength vodka, but she's also cool, competent, and very good at getting herself out of calamitous situations. Above all, she has a great sense of humor--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 trivializing serious issues."- "The Guardian "(UK) "Entertaining and original...what happens when chick lit meets the fallout from the Cold War. "Vodka Neat" is great fun...a witty page-turner which keeps you laughing and guessing, right to the end."- "Sunday Express" (UK)

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The dead twins stole my chicken! That's the least of the revelations to greet Faith Zanetti on her return to Moscow, a city she last lived in some fifteen years ago. A lot has changed since then, but a lot hasn t. The dead-eyed thugs who arrest Faith before she's had time to unpack may no longer call themselves KGB, but they dance to that old, familiar music. And while Faith is now a (semi) respectable journalist, rather than the tearaway teen bride of a Russian bootlegger, she's about to learn a lesson that the Russians themselves have known all along: the past is never so deeply buried that it can t reach out and bite you in the back.
