Mr Dixon Disappears (The Mobile Library)
What you need to know before your trail
Israel Armstrong, one of literature’s most unlikely detectives, returns for more crime solving adventure in this hilarious second novel from ‘The Mobile Library’ series. The second in the ‘The Mobile Library ‘ detective series, ‘Mr Dixon Disappears’ once again features the magnificently hapless Israel Armstrong – the young, Jewish, duffle-coat wearing librarian who solves crimes, mysteries, and domestic problems all whilst driving a mobile library around the coast of Northern Ireland. Dixon and Pickering’s, County Antrim’s legendary department store, is preparing to celebrate its centenary. But the elderly Mr Dixon – a member of the Ulster Association of Magicians – has gone missing, along with one hundred thousand pounds in cash.

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?
