Oxford's Inspector Robert Lewis, protégé of the legendary Inspector Morse, and his brilliant brooding partner, Detective Sergeant James Hathaway, are back with seven twisting new thrillers, and this time their personal connections to their work threaten to expose more than a killer.

Old Unhappy Far Off Things: Lewis and Hathaway investigate two murders at Oxford's last surviving all-female college. Wild Justice: Candidates in an election at Oxford's St. Gerard's Hall are being murdered one-by-one. The Mind Has Mountains: When a student dies from a new anti-depressant drug, is it murder or suicide? The Gift of Promise: Businesswoman Andrea de Ritter is bludgeoned to death in an apparent blackmail plot gone wrong.

Inspector Robert Lewis and his partner, the enigmatic detective Sergeant James Hathaway, return to the idyllic Oxford countryside and colleges in five new thrillers, forcing the pair to revisit the past and to reconsider the future.

Oxford's favorite detectives Lewis and Hathaway return for the eighth and final series of the hit series. Investigating the city's most complex and intriguing crimes, Lewis clashes with the new Chief Superintendent, who questions his traditional approach. Will Lewis decide to call time on his policing career? Meanwhile, Hathaway is forced to confront his past.

Inspector Morse is a melancholy, enigmatic and romantic man who never uses his first name and who finds solace in real ale, classical music and difficult crosswords. Together with his able Sergeant Lewis, Morse uses his considerable intellect and passion for the truth and justice to investigate death and murder in the English university town of Oxford.
