Last Seen Wearing - 1994

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 statements before Inspector Morse appeared to confirm the bald, simple truth. After leaving home to return to school, teenager Valerie Taylor had completely vanished, and the trail had gone cold. Until two years, three months and two days after Valerie`s disappearance, somebody decides to supply some surprising new evidence for the case ...

The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn

192K

Inspector Morse faces a puzzling trip into the world of the hearing impaired with the murder of an Oxford invigilator.

Sick in bed Inspector Morse engages with an old crime. The plot echos
Josephine Tey's 'Richard III', but that's no bad thing. It makes this the
best Inspector Morse novel/play.
