The Riddle Of The Third Mile.

COLIN DEXTER

Publication: Macmillan, 1983, London

First edition. Signed by the author on the title page. Sixth book in the series. Page edges beginning to tan evenly, else a fine bright copy in a bright fresh dust jacket. A dismembered body is fished out of the Oxford Canal ... only the torso remains. Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis feel certain that it is the body of Oxford don Browne-Smith, last seen boarding the London train several days before. But then a letter, supposedly written by the don, indicates that perhaps the body is that of a different don. Who is the body??? It's a long and winding road down the halls of academe for Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis, and the trail bounces back and forth to London's netherworld of topless bars and fancy hangouts. Housed in a cloth clamshell case with the dust jacket duplicated on the front cover and spine. An attractive presentation.
