The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn

Colin Dexter

Synopsis

‘Traditional crime writing at its best’ – The Sunday Times

The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn is the third novel in Colin Dexter’s Oxford-set detective series.

Morse had never ceased to wonder why, with the staggering advances in medical science, all pronouncements concerning times of death seemed so disconcertingly vague.

When the newly appointed, gifted member of the Oxford Examinations Syndicate is murdered in his north Oxford home, it's the beginning of a formidably complicated homicide case for Chief Inspector Morse.

For tracking down the killer will involve navigating the insular and labyrinthine world of Oxford colleges . . .

The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn is followed by the fourth Inspector Morse book, Service of All the Dead.
