About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
One of Britain's most inventive and honored crime writers, Dexter ( The
Jewel That Was Ours ) offers another tale in a justly acclaimed series. Again
it's a story packed with nuance, wayward angles and bewildering layers of
coincidence, all explicated in masterful style. When Oxford-based Inspector
Morse sets out to find Karin Eriksson, a young Swedish woman who disappeared
while vacationing in England, he opens a Pandora's box of clues and culpability.
The missing woman's need for money, four men's need for pornography, and
photographs, blackmail and multiple disappearances all play their part in this
deliberately baffling mystery, in which virtually every chapter ends on an
enigmatic note. Dexter even manages to cunningly subvert the narrative's basic
framework toward the end, when Karin Eriksson's identity comes into question.
The erudite, irascible Morse remains a delightful character, with his shambling
existence, his love for music, his obvious appeal to lonely women despite his
slovenly appearance. His pedestrian, loyal subordinate, Sgt. Lewis, buys most of
the beers Morse consumes en route to the ultimate solution. Publication of this
stunning work will coincide with the broadcast of another Morse adventure on the
PBS Mystery! series.
