Dive into the sun-soaked intrigue of Bermuda with 'The Sun Sets in Bermuda: Lend Me A Hand,' the first book in the captivating Basil Cross-Knight Mystery series by Rider McDowell. When storied Scotland Yard homicide detective Sir Basil Cross-Knight inherits a run-down and possibly haunted resort overlooking Elbow Beach in Bermuda, he seizes the chance for a fresh start. Retiring from the police force, he returns to the land of his birth, dreaming of life as a gentleman innkeeper and novelist. But when a mutilated body turns up on his property, Basil is thrust back into the world of crime, forced to help the local constabulary crack a shocking case. Packed with a vivid cast of unforgettable characters and twists that will keep even the sharpest readers guessing until the final pages, this mystery is hailed as 'Agatha Christie with a tan, knee socks and Bermuda shorts' by Christopher Buckley. A brilliant debut in the tradition of Dashiell Hammett, this series proves that Bermuda has never seemed so enticing — or so dangerous!
