Synopsis
Why would a sniper shoot suburban physiotherapist Rachel James as she sips her morning coffee? Inspector Morse's hunt for answers kicks off with a tabloid journalist, winds through the strip clubs of Soho, then returns to Oxford, where two senior dons and their wives battle for a plum promotion. Then, on the personal front, Inspector Morse receives intimations of his own mortality.
And while Morse muses on life, he reveals his first name at last. . . .

Review
Inspector Morse, the slightly cantankerous Oxford detective of BBC (& PBS) fame returns in Colin Dexter's intellectual thriller Death is Now My Neighbor. When the Master of Lonsdale College retires, two senior dons are left competing for the single spot that will be the penultimate position of their academic careers. A seemingly unrelated murder takes Morse and his partner Lewis from the strip clubs of Soho on a case that leads unexpectedly back to the manicured grounds of the Oxford college. This puzzling, stimulating, and thoroughly enjoyable British mystery, is chock full of antiquarian clues and literate allusions, making it a rewarding, stimulating read.
From the Publisher
"Pomposity mixed with beer seems an odd formula for a crowd-pleasing mystery hero, yet there's no arguing with its track record: first Nero Wolfe and now Inspector Morse, the curmudgeonly Oxford copper, who is currently the darling of the PBS crime set. The popularity of this novel, the series as a whole, and the upcoming Morse episodes on both PBS and A & E are all ensured."
-- Booklist
"A treat for buffs, this is also a good introduction for newcomers to an addictive detective."
-- Publishers Weekly
