Inspector Morse: Deputy Assistant Commissioner Charlie Hillian is killed on the night of his retirement party. Hillian was at one time a senior officer in Oxford and was in fact Morses boss. He was also writing a book about his most memorable cases including one about the unsolved death of an 8-year-old girl some 18 years ago. The suspect in that case Frederick Redpath was at Hillians house the day he died and that chapter from the manuscript is missing.
