by Colin Dexter
Oxford, England. A shot rings out in the early morning on Bloxham Drive. A young woman is murdered while having breakfast in her apartment.At nearby Lonsdale College, the peaceful quadrangle seems insulated from the everyday realities of the entire outside world, let alone this recent murder. Yet Lonsdale is not as tranquil as it appears. The Master of the college is about to retire, and two senior dons, Denis Cornford and Julian Storrs, are discreetly competing to succeed him. Meanwhile, their wives are involved in a more openly venomous competition of their own.For Chief Inspector Morse and his partner, Sergeant Lewis, the murder investigation leads to a tabloid journalist, to the strip clubs of Soho, and, eventually, back to the university. A disturbing question rises to the surface: Is the Mastership of Lonsdale worth killing for?

Where Serpents Lie
by T. Jefferson Parker
Terry Naughton, head of Orange County's Crimes Against Youth unit, is the champion of children. He's come up against his share of heinous criminals in his years on the force - but nothing has prepared him for the Horridus. Abducting children from their beds, dressing them like little angels, and releasing them the next day, the only clue he leaves is a piece of snakeskin tucked into the folds of their gowns. So far he hasn't physically harmed any of them, but as Naughton well knows, it's only a matter of time. As he races to find the madman before his crimes escalate, Naughton learns that the Horridus may not be the only enemy. When shocking (and seemingly irrefutable) accusations put his career on the line, he is forced to confront his dark and violent past in his search for the truth.
