Inspector Morse was alone among the congregation in suspecting unrest in the quiet parish of St Frideswide's. Most could remember the churchwarden's murder and the suicide of the murderer. But a chance meeting reveals deception. Other Morse books include "Last Seen Wearing".

That night he dreamed in Technicolor. He saw the ochre-skinned, scantily clad siren in her black, arrowed stockings. As Morse begins his recovery, he comes across an account of the investigation and the trial that followed Joanna Franks' death ... and becomes convinced that the two men hanged for her murder were innocent.

They called her the Swedish Maiden - the tourist who disappeared on a hot summer's day somewhere in North Oxford. 12 months later the case remained unsolved - pending further developments. On holiday in Lyme Regis, Chief Inspector Morse is startled to read a tantalizing article in 'The Times' about the missing woman.

Another classical whodunnit, involving the ingenious Inspector Morse. The Foreign Examinations Syndicate at Oxford sets examinations for people from the Third World: integrity is of the highest order. When a member of the Syndicate is murdered, Chief Inspector Morse immediately spots a clue which tells him that their integrity has been breached, and that another Syndicate member is the murderer. Morse's investigation is truly labyrinthine, the truth is cunningly veiled, and the end is stunning and splendid.

Little progress had been made since the discovery of a corpse in a North Oxford flat. The victim had been killed by a single stab wound to the stomach. Yet the police had clues. Within days of taking over the case Chief Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis uncover startling new information about the life and death of Dr Felix McClure.

This audio box set contains three crime mysteries by Colin Dexter, all read by Kevin Whately, who plays the long-suffering Sergeant Lewis in the Inspector Morse TV series. The titles are: "Last Bus to Woodstock", "Last Seen Wearing" and "The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn".

'Morse switched on the gramophone to "play" and sort 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. Her 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...'The writing is highly intelligent, the atomosphere melancholy, the effect haunting' Daily Telegraph

For Oxford, the arrival of 27 American tourists is nothing out of the ordinary, until one of their number is found dead. Only Chief Inspector Morse appears not to overlook the simultaneous theft of a jewel-encrusted antique from the victim's handbag. Then, 2 days later, a naked and battered corpse is dragged from the River Cherwell. A coincidence?

Dr Browne-Smith had passed through the porter's lodge at 8.15am and nobody had heard from him since. Plenty of time for him to disappear, thought Inspector Morse, and plenty of time for him to cover his trail. Other Morse books include "Service of All Dead" and "The Dead of Jericho".

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 passion of Inspector Morse - the beer-drinking, problem-solving Oxford detective - for crosswords is well known. But fewer people know that Morse's creator, the renowned author Colin Dexter, himself set crosswords for 'The Oxford Times' for many years and is a national crossword champion. This work presents his crosswords.

The murder of a young woman... a cryptic 'seventeenth-century' love poem ... and a photograph of a mystery grey-haired man ... it's more than enough to set Chief Inspector Morse on the trail of a killer. And it's a trail that leads him to Lonsdale College. But then, Morse faces a greater, far more personal crisis.

"Where does all this leave us, sir?""Things are moving fast.""We're getting near the end, you mean?""We were always near the end."For a year, the murder of Yvonne Harrison at her home in the Cotswold village of Lower Swinstead has baffled the Thames Valley CID. But one man has yet to tackle the case--and it is just the sort of puzzle at which Chief Inspector Morse excels.So why is he adamant that he will not lead the reinvestigation, despite two anonymous phone calls that hint at new evidence? And why, if he refuses to take on the case officially, does he seem to be carrying out his own private inquiries?When Sergeant Lewis learns that Morse was once friendly with Yvonne Harrison, he begins to suspect that the man who has earned his admiration, and exasperation, over so many years knows more about her death than he is letting on. When Morse finally does take over, the investigation leads down highways and byways that are disturbing to all concerned.And then there is that final twist!The Remorseful Day is full of the wonderful, unique touches that characterize Colin Dexter's novels. There is the brilliant, cranky Morse, the stubborn Sergeant Lewis, determined to best his boss at his own game, and, of course, the lovingly described town of Oxford, where grand colleges and old traditions are confronted by the new and the nasty. And throughout, there is today's world, as seen by Chief Inspector Morse.
