    “[Israel’s] fish-out-of-water dilemmas and encounters with kooky locals will resonate with Alexander McCall Smith fans.” —Publishers WeeklyAuthor Ian Sansom “clearly loves a good laugh” (Washington Post), as his delightful mystery series featuring rumpled, fish-out-of-water, Jewish vegetarian librarian Israel Armstrong indisputably proves. The Bad Book Affair is Israel’s fourth hilarious adventure as he tools around Ireland in a rattletrap bookmobile trying to solve the mystery of a missing teenage girl while trying to keep his mess of a personal life in order. Sansom’s Mobile Library Mystery series has made a big splash with critics on both sides of “the Pond.” The New York Times Book Review loves their “formidable reserves of insight and humor,”while the London Times calls Israel “one of the most original and exciting amateur sleuths around.”

    A wild Australian adventure begins with the kidnapping of two boys in the action novel Will’s Way: On Lake Coothella.  
    Tim and Nick are abducted from their lakeside camp-over on New Year’s Eve. The abductors are criminals whose revengeful intent is to make the boys disappear into the criminal underground in payment for an old insult dealt deep in the past. 
    What the criminals don’t realise is the resourcefulness and determination, not only of the boys themselves but of their family and friends, who rally their separate rescue expeditions.  
    Will, Tiff, and Matt immediately begin the pursuit in an old inflatable, while Billy and Jamie borrow a boat to help free their friends. Then Spiro and the mysterious Maria join the action. What results is a long and dangerous chase in a variety of boats, at night, over the lake displaying bravery and resourcefulness. This is followed by a determined pursuit through a pine forest, culminating in the final confrontation between the evil mastermind and Will Peters’ mother.
