Publisher's Synopsis
'Bizarre and bewildering - that's what so many murder investigations in the past had proved to be . In this respect, at least, Lewis was correct in his thinking. What he could not have known was what unprecedented anguish the present case would cause to Morse's soul.'
The victim had been killed by a single stab would to the stomach. Yet the Thames Valley police had no weapon, no suspect, no motive.
However, within days of taking over the investigation, Chief Inspector Morse and Detective Sergeant Lewis uncover startling new information about the life and death of one Dr Felix McClure, late of Wolsey College, Oxford.
