Publication: Macmillan, 1977, London
First edition. Signed by the author on the title page. Author's third book in the series. Fine bright copy in bright dust jacket. The Foreign Examinations Syndicate is a small unit specializing in reviewing exams of foreign students interested in becoming a member. When a member of the Syndicate is murdered, Chief Inspector Morse sees a clue which tells him their integrity has been breached. There is money in the oil states, for example, that could be used to buy examination competence for a relative who was inept. Morse is convinced that one of the five executives of the Syndicate is the murderer. But which one? In our view, the author's best novel and scarcest title. Housed in a cloth clamshell case with the dust jacket duplicated on the front cover and spine. An attractive presentation of a lovely copy.
