Book description
Morse had never ceased to wonder why, with the staggering advances in
medical science, all pronouncements concerning times of death seemed so
disconcertingly vague. The newly appointed member of the Oxford
Examinations Syndicate was deaf, provincial and gifted. Now he is dead .
. . And his murder, in his north Oxford home, proves to be the start of
a formidably labyrinthine case for Chief Inspector Morse, as he tries to
track down the killer through the insular and bitchy world of the Oxford
Colleges . . .
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.
