Last Bus to Woodstock cover

The first intriguing case in Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse mystery series.

The first intriguing case in Colin Dexter’s bestselling and iconic Inspector Morse mystery series.

The first intriguing case that began Colin Dexter’s phenomenally successful Inspector Morse series.

‘Do you think I'm wasting your time, Lewis?’
Lewis was nobody’s fool and was a man of some honesty and integrity.
‘Yes, sir.’
An engaging smile crept across Morse’s mouth. He thought they could get on well together . . .

The death of Sylvia Kaye figured dramatically in Thursday afternoon’s edition of the Oxford Mail. By Friday evening, Inspector Morse had informed the nation that the police were looking for a dangerous man.

But as the obvious leads fade into twilight and darkness, Morse becomes more and more convinced that passion holds the key . . .

Last Bus to Woodstock is followed by the second Inspector Morse book, Last Seen Wearing.
