History Recap / InspectorMorse

Morse is called on to solve the murder of a Japanese student, one of a group of foreign students with whom he had attended dinner.

Morse investigates the death of Sylvia Kane, an 18-year-old woman found dead in a pub car park, where she was late in meeting her date. In her possession is found an envelope with a secret-coded-message addressed to the dead woman's co-worker Jennifer Coleby, who has secrets of her own. Several relationships and connections are established by Morse and Lewis to find the truth about how Sylvia died.

A schoolgirl, daughter of a very influential local-businessman, has been missing for six months and Morse is convinced she is dead since he's just been assigned the case. But, before Morse can solve the mystery, another murder occurs.

An American tourist is found dead in a hotel room at the Randolph Hotel, apparently from a heart-attack. Morse suspects foul play, as a unique Anglo-Saxon artefact belonging to the victim has gone missing. Based on an original story by Creator/ColinDexter which he subsequently novelised as ''The Jewel That Was Ours''.

A church warden is found with a crucifix in his chest; and more bodies start to pile up as Morse and Lewis try to catch a dangerous psychopath. Bodies of persons closely linked to St Oswald's where the first murder took place. Morse falls for the church caretaker, but she has other things going on in her life.

Anne Stavely, a friend of Morse's, ostensibly commits suicide at her home in Jericho, though Morse is unconvinced. Morse works with Sergeant Lewis for the first time.

Morse and Lewis investigate the death of Nicholas Quinn, a hard-of-hearing Oxford examiner who had recently complained to his superior that others in the examination syndicate were selling secrets. Quinn died of cyanide poisoning but Morse is convinced that this is a case of murder, not suicide. When a second prominent member of the syndicate is killed, Morse looks to the other members for the murderer. What he finds is a maze of deceit and office adultery.
