Описание книги

Introducing Israel Armstrong, one of literature’s most unlikely detectives in the first of a series of novels from the author of the critically acclaimed Ring Road.Israel is an intelligent, shy, passionate, sensitive sort of soul: he’s Jewish; he’s a vegetarian; he could maybe do with losing a little weight. And he’s just arrived in Ireland to take up his first post as a librarian. But the library’s been shut down and Israel ends up stranded on the North Antrim coast driving an old mobile library.There’s nice scenery, but 15,000 fewer books than there should be. Who on earth steals that many books? How? When would they have time to read them all? And is there anywhere in this godforsaken place where he can get a proper cappuccino and a decent newspaper?Israel wants answers…

This was how most of the big decisions in life got taken, in Israel’s experience, and contrary to what he’d always been given to understand from his reading of the world’s great literature: you needed to go to the toilet, or you were bored, or you were just tired from arguing and you couldn’t think of anything else to do, and suddenly you found yourself married, or you’d signed the petition, or you’d volunteered for something you wouldn’t normally consider doing even if you were paid for it, or you’d accepted a job driving a mobile library in a godforsaken corner of the north of the north of the island of Ireland.

‘Oh, that’s great! That’s great!’ exclaimed Linda, punching the air with her salty, chubby fists. ‘I’m delighted, delighted, delighted. Wonderful!’ She reached over her desk and shook his hand. ‘It’ll be like a holiday for you.’
