Chief Inspector Morse is called in to investigate the murder of an Oxford academic, and finds the dons in uproar. The code of integrity had been breached and Quinn's death was not a matter of how and why but when.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Written in 1977, Dexter's third detective novel has Eton-educated, beer-drinking Inspector Morse investigating the murder of Nicholas Quinn, a deaf, newly hired staff member of the Foreign Examinations Syndicate. The Syndicate, which conducts "O" and "A" level examinations for overseas students, is being compromised. It seems someone in the small group of examiners is selling the test questions to the highest bidder. Now, each of the remaining members are suspects. The chief inspector must solve the puzzle of conflicting and corroborating alibis, timetables, and misdirections in order to pin down the killer. British actor Terrence Hardiman's narration is on the mark. This clever whodunit and its deceptive plot entertain and engage the reader. Purchase wherever detective and mystery tales are popular.-Kristin M. Jacobi, Eastern Connecticut State Univ., Willimantic
