Morse's greatest mystery, and other stories
Dexter, Colin
Morse's greatest mystery, and other stories / Colin Dexter - 1st American ed - New York : Crown Publishers , c1993. - 242 p. ; 24 cm.
As good as gold -- Morse's greatest mystery -- Evans tries an O-level -- Dead as a dodo -- At the Lulu-Bar Motel -- Neighbourhood watch -- A case of mis-identity -- The inside story -- Monty's revolver -- The carpet-bagger -- Last call.
In short mysteries so brilliantly plotted they'll confound the cleverest of souls, Inspector Morse remains as patient as a cat at a mouse hole in the face of even the most resourceful evildoers. Muldoon, for instance, the one-legged bomber with one fatal weakness . . . the quartet of lovers whose bizarre entanglements Morse deciphers only after a beautiful woman is murdered . . . and those artful dodgers who catch the cunning and very respectful Morse with his pants down. There are mysteries featuring new characters and some familiar ones, including the great Sherlock Holmes, and a royal flush of American crooks. "Fear not. In Dexter's dexterous hands, the short-form Morse is every bit as wily and irascible as he is in the the popular Morse novels and the long-running PBS Mystery! series." --The Raleigh News & Observer
