Endeavour

A baffling suicide, an anguished father searching for his missing daughter, and the robbery of Anglo-Saxon treasures strain even the talents of DC Endeavour Morse, as he returns to the force after a four-month absence from duty.

When a barbarous blood-letting in an Oxford museum claims the life of an elderly man, the investigation propels Endeavour and Thursday to a girls' school, haunted by memories of an atrocity committed 100 years before.

Oxford falls under a thick fog as a murderer haunts the city, strangling a series of women. No married woman is safe, and as the suspect list narrows, Endeavour and Thursday find their emotional lives are turned upside down.

As 1966 draws to a close, the body of a disreputable journalist found in mysterious circumstances threatens to expose unspeakable horrors from the past and, as the investigation deepens, Endeavour and DI Fred Thursday find themselves confronted by a wall of silence and a disparate group of men unwilling to talk.
