Meet Faith Zanetti, war correspondent - courage without equal, truth without bullshit, vodka without tonic . . .
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. Friends as tough and as cynical as she is. Friends she can drink with all night after a day of heavy violence. They file the copy, do the piece to camera and move on the to next hellhole.
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. This isn't another story. This is personal.
With her ex-lover Eden Jones and her old friend, photographer Don McCaughrean, by her side, she plunges into an investigation that takes her into a world darker than even she has ever encountered.
Set against the backdrop of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, 'The Bad News Bible' show us the world of the foreign correspondent for the first time - as it really is. The fear, the fun, the bitching and the bravery. Faith Zanetti is everybody's heroine - tough, sexy brilliant and wise.
