The newly appointed member of the Oxford Examinations Syndicate was deaf, provincial and gifted. Now he is dead... And his murder, in his north Oxford home, proves to be the start of a formidably labyrinthine case for Chief Inspector Morse, as he tries to track down the killer through the insular and bitchy world of the Oxford Colleges.
