"In 1859, the body of a young woman was found floating in the Oxford Canal; her death led to a sensational murder trial. In 1989, Inspector Morse is recovering from an ulcer in Oxford's Radcliffe Hospital. Idly leafing through books in the hospital library, Morse comes across an account of the investigation. He is soon convinced that the two men hanged for the canal murder were innocent-and from the confines of his bed, sets out to prove it."; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall.
