En savoir plus sur le livre

"This omnibus brings together three of Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse mysteries .... The Dead of Jericho is a town-and-gown Oxford mystery. The violent death of a peeping tom leads Chief Inspector Morse to back-track to the apparent suicide in a neighboring house of a pregnant young women. The long-suffering Lewis is dispatched in seemingly unrelated directions at Morse's behest, until the right killer is arrested .... Service of all the Dead opens with the murder of a church warden, rapidly followed by the deaths of a music master and his son. The only common element to link the deaths is the Church of St. Frideswide. Unfortunately, the case is 'cleared up' while Morse is on holiday. Fortunately, he does not accept this official fact and what follows his return from leave is his own investigation, which blows all previous theories to smithereens. The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn is a formidable and labyrinthine puzzle in which a deaf academic is found dead in his north Oxford home. Even Morse respects the intelligence and cunning of the killer as he tries to track him down through the insular and bitchy world of the Oxford colleges" -- Provided by publisher
