2000s: The duffle-coat wearing, navel-gazing Jewish librarian who solves crimes
The Bad Book Affair (Mobile Library)
What you need to know before your trail
The Bad Book Affair features the magnificently hapless Israel Armstrong – the duffle-coat wearing, navel-gazing Jewish librarian who solves crimes, mysteries, and domestic problems whilst driving a mobile library around the north coast of Ireland.
In The Bad Book Affair Israel finds himself on the verge of his thirtieth birthday and on the trail of a troubled missing teenager, the daughter of a local politician.

Travel Guide
Country Antrim
Tumdrum isn’t a real village in Country Antrim and even if it were, it hasn’t got a library anyway so it would loose points for that. It is the lace Israel goes to get work and then loses it when the library runs into trouble.
Not to be outdone, he talks a mobile library on the road and well, that’s when the adventures begin. Israel can drive, but not well, and not necessarily a bus.
Imagine tootling along the nice country roads on a bus of books? Or being one of the people in the villages waiting for their next read? There are many villages to explore but we’ve chosen three for their location, their quirky places to visit and somewhere Israel might indeed like to go
