"Quintessential Dexter, quintessential Morse, this
book is a challenging puzzle, stylishly presented, with
engaging characters in an atmospheric setting—
in fact, the quintessential detective novel."
Peter Lovesey -'
The case seems so simple, Inspector Morse deems it
beneath his notice. A wealthy, elderly American tourist
has a heart attack in her room at Oxford's luxurious
Randolph Hotel Missing from the scene is the lady's
handbag, which contained the Wolvercote Tongue, a
Driceless jewel that her late husband had bequeathed to
:he Ashmolean Museum just across the street. Morse-
proceeds to spend a great deal of time thinking—and
drinking—in the hotel's bar, certain the solution is close
at hand—until conflicting stories, suspicious doings,
and a real murder convince him otherwise
"Consider this one more JEWEL in Dexter's crown:
elegant, complex, yet with enough dark undercurrents
to qualify as serious entertainment of the highest order.'
