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...

Faith Zanetti is addicted to danger. But hooked as she might be on alcohol, cigarettes and living life in the fast lane, she's also clever enough to know that at some point something's got to give. She's the Moscow correspondent of the moment - chosen for the job because, as a teenager, she married a Russian. Through the vodka haze it's a struggle to remember everything about those days, but Faith knows that a lot of it was bad. Now, fifteen years later, those days are back to get her. And when she is arrested for murder, Faith knows she's going to have to get the present in order. And the past too.

Faith Zanetti doesn't much care who put the bomb on flight TAA67, the plane that blew up over the tiny Scottish village of Cairbridge twenty-five years ago. Wasn't it those Libyan blokes who went to prison for it? For a woman whose comfort zone is a war zone it seems like the boring assignment from hell. But as the conspiracy theories start seeming less theoretical and the threats get increasingly real, Faith realises she's skating on thin ice. With the ghost of her dead father creeping out of her dreams as Sicily erupts in violence around her, and the screams of the doomed passengers ringing in her ears, Faith begins to suspect that the truth she seeks might be closer to home than she thought ...

Reporterka wojenna Faith Zanetti jedzie do Iraku skąd będzie dostarczać najnowszych informacji o drugiej wojnie w Zatoce pewnemu londyńskiemu dziennikowi. Na miejscu poznaje Joshuę Kleina - amerykańskiego inspektora szukającego broni masowego rażenia i po raz pierwszy w życiu zakochuje się bez pamięci Joshua ma jednak rodzinę i poczucie odpowiedzialności. Dzięki swoim kontaktom, trzy razy dostarcza on Faith sensacyjnych materiałów na pierwszą stronę gazety i za każdym razem znika zostawiając wiadomość, że ten związek nie ma szans, że trzeba się rozstać i żyć osobno. Jednym z sensacyjnych tematów jest spektakularna akcja odbicia zakładników, którzy cudem przeżyli iracki atak na amerykański konwój. Po publikacji artykułu okazuje się, że cała akcja była wyreżyserowana. Zakładnicy - Eden Jones i Bonita Hernandez - opuścili konwój zanim został on zaatakowany, po czym trafili do szpitala, gdzie dobrze ich traktowano.
