Book description
The thought suddenly occurred to Morse that this would be a marvellous
time to murder a few of the doddery old bachelor dons. No wives to worry
about their whereabouts; no landladies to whine about the unpaid rents.
In fact nobody would miss most of them at all . . . 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.
15 a. m. 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 . . .
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.
