The Mr Dixon Disappears by Ian Sansom

Israel Armstrong, one of literatures most unlikely detectives, returns for more crime solving adventure in this hilarious second novel from The Mobile Library series.

'Israel is one of the most original and amusing amateur sleuths around…’ The Times

'Bibliophiles will instinctively warm to Israel Armstrong, Jewish librarian, duffel-coat wearer and part-time detectiveThe fact that he drives his mobile library around the coast of Northern Ireland, moaning non-stop about people who do not return books on time, only makes the character more deliciously esoteric. This yarn about an ageing magician who has gone missing with £100,000 is the second in what promises to be a must-read series.' Sunday Telegraph

Ian Sansom reviews regularly for the Guardian and the London Review of Books. His first book, The Truth About Babies, was published by Granta in 2002, and his second, Ring Road, by Fourth Estate in 2004.
