Colin Dexter: The Dead of Jericho (UK 2024)

From the Publisher:
The Dead of Jericho is the fifth novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set detective series.

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. As 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 her suicide investigation.

Following another local death, Morse is not convinced of Anna's suspected suicide and begins the search for answers...

The Dead of Jericho is followed by the sixth Inspector Morse book, The Riddle of the Third Mile.

THE DEAD OF JERICHO.
Anne Scott hangs from her kitchen ceiling, an apparent suicide. A troubling case for Chief Inspector Morse, taxing even his prodigious powers of deduction, tangling his own emotions and loyalties. A drug overdose, blackmail, marital infidelity, adolescent lust and brotherly love -- all behind the walls of the tranquil village of Jericho.

Chief Inspector Morse, Homicide Division, Oxford: Alonely middle-aged bachelor witha taste for Mozart and TS. Eliot, pints of bitter -- and an obsession with attractive women. As coarse as he is cunning, at times insufferable, relentlessly inquisitive.
