Synopsis

Why would a sniper shoot suburban physiotherapist Rachel James as she sips her morning coffee? Inspector Morse's hunt for answers kicks off with a tabloid journalist, winds through the strip clubs of Soho, then returns to Oxford, where two senior dons and their wives battle for a plum promotion. Then, on the personal front, Inspector Morse receives intimations of his own mortality.

And while Morse muses on life, he reveals his first name at last. . . .

About this title

Book Description:

'For those who already adore this quixotic, uniquely compassionate character, this is the best ever' Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday

From the Back Cover:

As he drove his chief down to Kidlington, Lewis returned the conversation to where it had begun.

'You haven't told me what you think about this fellow Owens - the dead woman's next-door neighbour.'

'Death is always the next-door neighbour,' said Morse sombrely.

The murder of a young woman; a cryptic 'seventeenth-century' love poem; and a photograph of a mystery grey-haired man.

More than enough to set Chief Inspector Morse on the trail of a killer.

It's a trail that leads him to Lonsdale College, where the contest between Julian Storrs and Dr Denis Cornford for the coveted position of Master is hotting up.

But then Morse faces a greater, far more personal crisis . . .

'For those who already adore this quixotic, uniquely compassionate character, this is the best ever' Mail on Sunday

'Dexter has created a giant among fictional characters and has never short-changed his readers' The Times
