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. It smells, pretty badly, of a kidnap.
Israel becomes a suspect in the police investigation and is
suspended from his job by his boss, the ever-fearsome Linda Wei.
He's having to fight to clear his name. Does Israel's acclaimed
five-panel touring exhibition showing the history of Dixon and
Pickering's in old photographs and artefacts perhaps hold the key
to Mr Dixon's mysterious disappearance? Will romance blossom
between Israel and Rosie Hart, the barmaid at the First and Last?
Will Linda Wei stick to her diet? And has nobody here heard of
Franz Kafka? All will be revealed in this hilarious and endlessly
inventive sequel to 'The Case of the Missing Books'.
