Five years after Morse's death, Lewis - now promoted to inspector - returns to his old stomping ground of the university city of Oxford after an attachment on the British Virgin Islands. Even before Lewis can get home from the airport, he and his new, much younger colleague Hathaway are diverted by the flashing blue lights and police activity of a murder scene, centred on the death by a single bullet of an American college student. Another student, Danny Griffon, is suspected of being involved - and he had a brush with the law some years previously, investigated by a certain Inspector Morse.

When a middle-aged Oxford graduate is found dead near his run-down Oxford house-boat, Detectives Lewis and Hathaway are thrown into a delicate murder case which implicates one of the University’s most prominent figures – college Principal and likely Vice-Chancellor, Sefton Linn. But as Lewis and Hathaway discover, Linn was not always so respectable. As an undergraduate, twenty odd years earlier, he was a member of a hedonistic group of friends who titled themselves ‘The Sons of the Twice Born’ - and with the dead man, Dean Greely, being part of this mysterious group...nothing is as it seems.

When a bright young female student is found murdered in a hotel room, detectives Lewis and Hathaway are drawn into a case driven by celebrity, ambition, scheming and dangerous sexual politics that brings Lewis face to face with his past. The murdered girl, Jo Gilchrist, is one of three Oxford students who each possess an overwhelming ambition to succeed and have grouped together to achieve this, hatching ploys and schemes to further their ambitions. But as Lewis and Hathaway discover, some of these alliances may not be what they seem.Stars: Frances Albery as Jo Gilchrist, Owen Teale as Nicky Turnbull, Don Gallagher as Professor Weller, James Russell as David Harvey, Tom Harper as Stephen Gilchrist

When a North Oxford housewife, Rachel Mallory (Emma Croft), is found hanged at home, it appears to be an open and shut case of suicide. She leaves devastated husband Hugh (James Wilby), and two young daughters, 8-year-old Anna, and 9-year-old Izzie. Hugh’s business partner, David Hayward and his wife, Louise were the Mallorys’ closest friends. With two boys of their own, they’re concerned that the girls are protected from the trauma of their mother’s death. Much to the chagrin of CSI Innocent (Rebecca Front), Inspector Lewis’ instincts tell him something’s wrong about the suicide verdict. But whether it’s the lack of a note, or the fact that Rachel’s life seemed perfect, he’s not yet sure.
