\"\"<\/a>This project was started in 2017 when we wrote to Colin. \u00a0He was not well and blind. The son Jeremy replied and agreed for us to do this book. As Colin was unable to sign he gave a letter saying that in the circumstances it was acceptable (to Colin) to use a facsimile signature.<\/p>\n

The Riddle of the Third Mile<\/b><\/i>\u00a0has passages about Inspector Morse’s earlier life. \u00a0It is a fitting tribute to Colin for his family and his literary admirers. \u00a0 I knew Colin quite well and did three Morse books with him in the 90s. He signed those books in his home in Oxford when we visited him.\u00a0 I saw saw him at conferences and would phone to see how he was. \u00a0He was chuckle and say he was rushed off his feet by the television people wanting him to do something!<\/p>\n

We expect the book to be ready in the second half of 2019. \u00a0Price about about \u00a3225. Regular subscribers have priority. If interested send us a message.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
