Summary
Before the events of Arcadia, after Morse’s return in Ride, the detective constable is sent out to look over a sudden death and finds himself caught up in a double homicide, both bodies arranged in symbolic manners that reflect the works of the acclaimed bard. A message from the killer indicates that this is not the end, merely the beginning of his work. The spirit of Mason Gull shows it’s hand in this, but dead men don’t walk, and they certainly don’t kill. Could it be the work of an accomplice? Or a much more convoluted and sinister plot than Morse realizes? With cryptic clues and madness at every turn, the Oxford City Police must race against the clock to save the potential victims, especially when one of their own lies at risk.

Summary
When Morse discovers what appears to be a ritualistic link between a few unsolved murders spanning the past two years, the rest of Cowley station brushes it off as a lark. But two young women found dead, one every year, each discovered shortly after the autumnal equinox, is more than mere coincidence. It’s the beginning of a pattern.
The third victim is found just days later on the banks of the Cherwell, the day after the equinox.
Now, one year later, Morse must rush to find the killer before it’s too late, but breaking this pattern may just come at a price.
