The murder of a young woman . . . A cryptic seventeenth-century love poem . . . And a photograph of a mystery grey-haired man . . .

More than enough to set Chief Inspector E. Morse on the trail of a killer.

And it s a trail that leads him to Lonsdale College, where the contest between Julian Storrs and Dr Denis Cornford for the coveted position of Master is hotting up.

But then Morse faces a greater, far more personal crisis . . .

Death is Now My Neighbour is followed by the thirteenth Inspector Morse book, The Remorseful Day.
