Here, two interlinked murders challenge Morse and Lewis. First Dr. Felix McClure, late of Wolsey College, Oxford, is found stabbed in his flat. The trail of clues leads to a college servant, one Edward Brooks. Then Brooks himself vanishes, and Morse suddenly finds himself with too many suspects, including Brooks's wife, a prostitute, and an enigmatic schoolmistress.

But as he finds himself attracted - in fact, more than attracted - to one of the possible killers, Morse is at sea in a way he has never known before.
