An Inspector Morse Mystery
The case seems so simple that Inspector Morse deems it beneath his notice. A wealthy, elderly American tourist has a heart attack in her room at Oxfordβs luxurious Randolph Hotel. Missing from the scene is the ladyβs handbag, which contained the Wolvercote Tongue, a priceless jewel that her late husband had bequeathed to the Ashmolean Museum just across the street. Morse proceeds to spend a great deal of time thinkingβand drinkingβin the hotelβs bar, certain the solution is close at hand, until conflicting stories, suspicious doings, and a real murder convince him otherwise.
