Book description
Morse switched on the gramophone to 'play', and sought to switch his
mind away from all the terrestrial troubles. Sometimes, this way, he
almost managed to forget. But not tonight . . . Anne Scott's address was
scribbled on a crumpled note in the pocket of Morse's smartest suit. He
turned the corner of Canal Street, Jericho, on the afternoon of
Wednesday, 3rd October. He hadn't planned a second visit. But he was
back later the same day - as the officer in charge of a suicide
investigation . . .
