Trove

In the spring of 1966, after returning from sick leave for several months at County (Oxfordshire) Police's Witney Station under D.I. Church, Morse investigates a suspicious suicide during an Oxford parade, a missing girl from Oxfordshire, and the theft of historical artefacts from a college. On the 900th anniversary of the 1066 Battle of Hastings, a beauty pageant and local by-election draw Morse into disagreement with Inspector Thursday and Superintendent Bright when he believes they are connected to the crimes, despite the evidence. A missing notebook and a Freemasonry lodge hamper the investigation.
