Description

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
