Book ID/图书代码： 07980005B04151
English Summary/英文概要： War correspondent Faith Zanetti is newly posted to Moscow. She has been here before, back when the communists were still in power, food shortages were a way of life, public services were collapsing and people were getting away with murder. Literally. Moscow has changed now and so has faith, but, behind the fast-paced glamour of the new Russia, ghosts from the bleak Soviet past are gathering to haunt her. She deals with terrorist bombs and bizarre prison stories, digs up the bones of her impulsive teenage marriage and grapples with her occasional lover, Eden Jones. Now she’s got to fight to stop things spiralling out of control and it’s not going to be easy. Sharply observed, honest, moving and totally compulsive, NEAT VODKA is a girl’s own adventure for the adrenaline junkie in all of us.

Awards/获奖情况：STARRED PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW
British journalist Blundy’s brilliant thriller provides sharp insights into the new Russia vs. the old Soviet Union. 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. (May)
