However, the book begins and ends in Austin and ties in with more of my memories of the city. When I worked as a bookmobile driver for the Austin Public Library, the main library was in what is now called the Austin History Center. In my books, Liz, the director of library services has her office in the old building instead of the new one because she likes the feel of it.
This story begins with Liz learning that $100,000 has been stolen from the bookmobile fund. The thief has skipped town and is spotted in London. The vengeance squad (Liz, Tex, a wheelchair-bound librarian, and Chris, a computer nerd, are joined by Jane, a muscle-bound hospital chaplain who is also Tex's wife) heads for England to recover the stolen money.
It is a fun mystery with a little sadness thrown in for realism. It is also a love story as Chris and Angela examine ways to make a relationship work.
