Book description
Morse was beset by a nagging feeling. Most of his fanciful notions
about the Taylor girl had evaporated and he had begun to suspect that
further investigation into Valerie's disappearance would involve little
more than sober and tedious routine . . . The statements before
Inspector Morse appeared to confirm the bald, simple truth. After
leaving home to return to school, teenager Valerie Taylor had completely
vanished, and the trail had gone cold. Until two years, three months and
two days after Valerie's disappearance, somebody decides to supply some
surprising new evidence for the case . . .
Colin Dexter has won many awards for his novels including the CWA
Gold Dagger and Silver Dagger awards. In 1997 he was presented with
the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger Award for outstanding services to crime
literature. Colin's thirteenth and final Inspector Morse novel, The
Remorseful Day, was published in 1999. He lives in Oxford.
