Paperback. Condition: Very Good. By the 16th of July the Master of Lonsdale was concerned, but not yet worried. Dr Browne-Smith had passed through the porter's lodge at approximately 8.15am on the morning of Friday, 11th July. And nobody had heard from him since. Plenty of time to disappear, thought Morse. And plenty of time, too, for someone to commit murder. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Gut. 221 (1) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Nina Rothfos. Guter Zustand. Dr. Browne-Smith, Mitglied der Prüfungskommission des Lonsdale Colleges, ist bei seinen Kollegen nicht unbedingt beliebt. So ist denn auch niemand allzu unglücklich, dass er das Feierabendbier wegen Kopfschmerzen ablehnt. Als er jedoch nicht mehr zur Arbeit erscheint und eine ominöse Abwesenheitsnotiz von ihm auftaucht, wird der Rektor misstrauisch. Sein alter Freund Inspector Morse verspricht, Augen und Ohren offenzuhalten. Kurz darauf hat dieser jedoch ganz andere Sorgen: Aus dem Oxford-Kanal wird eine Wasserleiche geborgen - und mit ihr die Überreste eines Briefs, die Morse scheinbar direkt ins Herz des elitären Lonsdale Colleges führen. - Norman Colin Dexter OBE (* 29. September 1930 in Stamford, Lincolnshire; 21. März 2017 in Oxford) war ein britischer Schriftsteller von Kriminalromanen, in denen seine Hauptfigur Inspector Morse auf zuweilen ungewöhnliche Weise seine Fälle löste. Motive aus seinen Romanen bilden die Grundlage für drei britische Fernsehserien: Inspektor Morse Mordkommission Oxford, Der junge Inspektor Morse und Lewis Der Oxford Krimi. Ausbildung: Aus einer gutbürgerlichen Familie stammend, studierte Dexter zunächst die klassischen Fächer an der Universität von Cambridge, die er auch an einer Oberschule in den East Midlands zu unterrichten gedachte. Als bei ihm Anzeichen einer beginnenden Taubheit ausbrachen, nahm er einen Posten 1966 an einem College in Oxford an, wo er in erster Linie für die Ausarbeitung von Prüfungsaufgaben und der Überprüfung ihrer Ergebnisse zuständig war und Latein sowie Griechisch an der Oberstufe unterrichtete, soweit es ihm seine Krankheit erlaubte. Dieses Handikap sollte er später in Die schweigende Welt des Nicholas Quinn verarbeiten. Der Wandel zum Autor: Die fast anekdotenhafte Geschichte, wie er zum Schreiben seiner Kriminalromane kam, wurde häufig kolportiert: 1972 weilte Dexter auf einem Familienurlaub in Wales, der komplett verregnet war, so dass der im Hotel gelangweilte Dozent zunächst zwei mittelmäßige Mystery-Storys schrieb. Daraufhin dachte er, dass er dies doch wohl noch besser könne, und schrieb Der letzte Bus nach Woodstock, seinen ersten Inspektor-Morse-Roman. Das Erlebnis als solches, sprich in einem Hotel festzusitzen, beschrieb Dexter schließlich humorvoll in Eine Messe für all die Toten. Charakteristik: All seine Romane spielen in Oxford oder dessen Umgebung sowie dem kultivierten Milieu der Oxbridge-Gegend. Morse löst seine Fälle stets unkonventionell und verfolgt gerne mehrere Theorien, wobei ihm sein umfassendes Allgemeinwissen stets zur Hilfe kommt, was er gerne beim rekordverdächtigen, allmorgendlichen Ausfüllen des Kreuzworträtsels aus The Times demonstriert. Leichten Lösungen misstraut er stets; wichtig ist ihm das Motiv des Täters. Auf die Ideen seiner Mitarbeiter verzichtet er nie, obwohl ihm selbst alles zu langsam geht. Selbst längst zu den Akten gelegte Fälle greift er erfolgreich wieder auf. Dabei zeichnet Dexter seinen Helden als höchst ambivalente Persönlichkeit: Morse, in frühen Jahren unglücklich verliebt, lebt einsam dank einer Erbschaft in guten Verhältnissen, um stets auf verdächtige Frauen oder spätere Opfer, die seinem Charisma und dem Blick seiner stahlblauen Augen verfallen, merkwürdig attraktiv zu wirken. Da diese Liebe jedoch immer bis auf kurze Momente (Eine Messe für all die Toten) unerfüllt sein muss oder sogar die Tragik der verpassten Chance beinhaltet, wie zum Beispiel in Die Toten von Jericho, erklärt sich auch sein Hang zum Alleinsein und dem angeblich das Denken beschleunigenden Alkohol, was seinen Diabetes noch verschlimmert und schließlich auch zu seinem Tod führt, wobei Dexter zwar seinen Helden sterben, ihn aber dennoch den Fall lösen lässt. Außerdem ist Morse wohl neben Josephine Teys Inspektor Alan Grant, der als gelangweilter Krankenhauspatient in Alibi für einen König ( Daughter of Time", 1951) sogar den mörderischen Ruf Richards III. rehabilitier.
