Faith Without Doubt

2003. War-torn Baghdad: Saddam Hussein may be hiding in a hole, but foreign correspondent Faith Zanetti is once again at the heart of the action. And once again, she's loving it: the heat, the rush, the danger - dare she say it - the excitement. But there is one bombshell that even Faith isn't prepared for. Green-eyed weapons inspector Joshua F.Klein is powerful, wise and seductive, and he's also got the stories Faith needs. Standing under fire with this man, she feels safer than she's ever felt before. But in fact, she's in more danger than ever - buffeted by passion for a man whose allegiances are as mysterious as he is elusive. Is she covering the sodding war or is she losing her mind? With fat photographer Don McCaughrean, hard as nails Carly Posner and her on-off lover Eden Jones, Faith plunges headlong into the war on Saddam and the battle for her own sanity.

Anna Blundy has worked in the news media since leaving Oxford in 1992, from doing the photocopying at ABC news in Moscow to being the Moscow bureau chief for the Times. She has published two books, Every Time We Say Goodbye, a memoir of her father, a war correspondent who was killed by a sniper in El Salvador in 1989, and Only My Dreams, a novel set in England and Russia. She lives in Italy with her husband, Horatio, and children Lev and Hope. Her proudest achievement is having been a blues singer in a Moscow band in the early 1990s and she wishes she was more like her heroine, Faith Zanetti.
