First edition. Signed on the title page. Fine bright copy in a bright dust jacket. Yvonne Harrison, a married, middle-aged nurse with a penchant for S&M, is found in her bedroom naked, handcuffed, gagged and bludgeoned to death. After a year, the investigation grows cold. When two disturbing calls reveal new evidence, Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis are asked to re-open the investigation. Morse refuses. It seems that not only is Morse secretly conducting his own investigation, but he and the dead woman shared a "friendly" past. Is Inspector Morse hiding evidence? This is the final Inspector Morse novel.
