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 “an acute sense of the absurd” (Daily Mail) who is
“emphatically unpretentious in his portrayal of the ordinary
lives of ordinary folk” (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: he’s 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 them—and 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.
