I want to be a library detective…
Jason Shiga’s Bookhunter is very (very!) loosely based on a real book theft,
but turned into an action movie. Special Agent Bay of the Library
Police tracks down missing library books. Small-time perps just steal
or deface books, but sometimes Bay faces more complicated cases, such
as when a valuable pre-1500 bible once owned by John Quincy Adams is
not just stolen from a library, but replaced with a high-quality
forgery.Fortunately, Bay has the resources of a major police organization
behind him, as well as sharp eyes, a good head for detail, and little
to no regard for the personal safety of himself or the people around
him.
Ooh, shiny! I knew there were action-movie possibilities (or, in this case, detective-comic possibilities) in the world of librarianship. [dashes off to read]
