The book gathers together fourteen Lordly Wadson stories (the five that comprised the original 'Lordly Wadson' book plus nine newer stories, several of which were especially written for this new collection). The title character is a private detective in 1930s Bermuda, who moonlights as a calypso singer. The tone is light and amusing, and the setting -- the unspoiled, motor-car-free Bermuda of pre-war days -- adds a further measure of charm to the proceedings. The original volume of stories was warmly reviewed and recommended by 'The US Review of Books' and 'Readers' Favorite'.
