Prior owner's inscription to the recto of front endpaper, 'Ann France'. 

This novel is the sixth in the Inspector Morse series. Structurally, the work is split into three books, the first second and third miles. In it Morse finds an anonymous, truncated body in the Oxford Canal which leads to further mysteries.

Condition

In the original full cloth binding and held in original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, excellent with just some minor shelfwear. Dustwrapper is also excellent with just some light sunning to the head of rear wrap. Small crease at the flyleaf joint to the rear of wrap.
