Death is Now My Neighbour by Colin Dexter

`A giant among fictional detectives' - The TimesDeath is Now My Neighbour is the twelfth novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set detective series. As he drove his chief down to Kidlington, Lewis returned the conversation to where it had begun. `You haven't told me what you think about this fellow Owens - the dead woman's next-door neighbour.' `Death is always the next-door neighbour,' said Morse sombrely. The murder of a young woman, a cryptic `seventeenth-century' love poem, and a photograph of a mystery grey-haired man is more than enough to set Chief Inspector Morse on the trail of a killer. It's a trail that leads him to Lonsdale College, where the contest between Julian Storrs and Dr Denis Cornford for the coveted position of Master is hotting up. But then Morse faces a greater, far more personal crisis . . . Death is Now My Neighbour is followed by the thirteenth and final Inspector Morse book, The Remorseful Day.
