The Dead of Jericho

In The Dead of Jericho, winner of the CWA Silver Dagger Award, Inspector Morse takes on another curious case in Colin Dexter's detective mystery series. Winner of the CWA Silver Dagger Award 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. He turned the corner of Canal Street, Jericho, on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 3rd. He hadn't planned a second visit. But he was back later the same day - as the officer in charge of a suicide investigation . . .
