I can recommend two books:

Bernstein, Hadzilacos & Goodman, "Concurrency Control and Recovery in
Database Systems", Addison-Wesley, 1987, ISBN 0-201-10715-5.

	This book has sections on distributed database problems.


Ozsu & Valduriez, "Principles of Distributed Database Systems",
Prentice Hall, 1991, ISBN 0-13-691643-0.
