The author of widely admired The Impartial Recorder returns with first volume in a droll and enteratining mystery series featuring a most unusual and compelling detective
From an author with βan acute sense of the absurdβ (Daily Mail) who is βemphatically unpretentious in his portrayal of the ordinary lives of ordinary folkβ (New York Newsday) comes an eccentric series of mysteries, set in the Emerald Isle, that combines the offbeat soulfulness of Nick Hornby with the quirky cheerfulness of Alexander McCall Smith.
Israel Armstrong is an intelligent, shy, sensitive, and passionate soul: heβs Jewish, a vegetarian, and could stand to lose a few pounds. A new job has lured him to Ireland: the librarian of a mobile library The scenery is lovely, the people are charming, but where are all the books? The library is missing 15,000 volumes. But who on earth would steal themβand why? And is there anywhere in this damp and ridiculously green place to get a proper cappuccino and a decent newspaper? The clever Israel is determined to find out.
