New Inspector Morse book out now!

My author's copies of THE COMPLETE INSPECTOR MORSE: From the Original Novels to the TV Series have just arrived. They look fantastic, as you can see from the photo above, and it gives me a pleasant thrill to hold a copy of my first hardback tome. The new book is an updated and revised version of The Complete Inspector Morse, a reference guide to the stories of Colin Dexter and the smash hit TV series it inspired. Back when the first edition was published by Reynolds & Hearn in 2002, it felt like the final word on Morse. But this year's Lewis spin-off has proven there's still life in Colin Dexter's creation.

Happily, the spin-off gave Reynolds & Hearn a reason to commission a new edition of the book, and me the chance to correct the many errors that crept into the 2002 tome. I did a cover-to-cover rewrite of the exiting material and added a lot of new matter, particularly about the Lewis spin-off. That's been ITV's biggest hit of 2006 and plans are afoot for more stories starring Detective Inspector Lewis, which bodes well for further editions of my magnificent octopus.
