Morse switched on the gramophone to 'play', and sought to switch his mind away from all the terrestrial troubles. Sometimes, this way, he almost managed to forget. But not tonight .

Anne Scott's address was scribbled on a crumpled note in the pocket of Morse's smartest suit. As he turned the corner of Canal Street, Jericho, on the afternoon of Wednesday, 3rd October, he hadn't planned a second visit. But he was back later the same day – as the officer in charge of her suicide investigation.

Following another local death, Morse is not convinced of Anna’s suspected suicide and begins the search for answers .

The Dead of Jericho is followed by the sixth book in the detective series, The Riddle of the Third Mile.
