Inspector Morse, recovering from an ulcer in Oxford’s Radcliffe Hospital, comes across an old book recounting a sensational murder case that took place in Oxford 100 years earlier.
Convinced that the two men hanged for the crime were innocent, Morse sets out from the confines of his bed to prove it.
