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. Why has the young woman disappeared? Does it have
something to do with Israel's lending her A Clockwork Orange and
Lady Chatterly's Lover from the library's special 'Unshelved'
category? Will the young woman's father run Israel out of town? How
will Israel recover from his own break-up with his girlfriend,
Gloria? And how exactly does a Jewish vegetarian celebrate his
thirtieth birthday in Tumdrum? With a bacon scone? And will Israel
and his irascible companion Ted ever agree about anything?
