Product Information

In July 1966 at the Museum of Natural History, almost empty, save for some schoolgirls, Adrian Weiss, a specialist in heraldry and genealogy, is murdered. The similar murder of a 12-year-old girl at her boarding school leads Morse to delve into a 100-year-old murder mystery involving a wealthy family with connections to India and an inheritance. The girls staying for the summer, as they cannot reach home for the vacation, play pranks based on the book about the murdered family 100 years earlier, but do not own up until afterwards. The fifth generation descendant of the owner of the large family home, now the school for girls, thinks he might finally inherit with a change in laws for a bastard child. He murders those in his way, worked out by Morse by reading Weiss's detailed files. A masonic ring connected to the case goes missing. [e]
