The Wench is Dead is the eighth novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set
detective series. That night he dreamed in Technicolor. He saw the
ochre-skinned, scantily clad siren in her black, arrowed stockings.
And in Morse's muddled computer of a mind, that siren took the name
of one Joanna Franks . . . The body of Joanna Franks was found at
Duke's Cut on the Oxford Canal at about 5.30 a.m. on Wednesday,
22nd June 1859. At around 10.15 a.m. on a Saturday morning in 1989
the body of Chief Inspector Morse - though very much alive - was
removed to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital. Treatment for a
perforated ulcer was later pronounced successful. As Morse begins
his recovery he comes across an account of the investigation and
the trial that followed Joanna Franks' death . . . and becomes
convinced that the two men hanged for her murder were innocent . .
. The Wench is Dead is followed by the ninth Inspector Morse book,
The Jewel That Was Ours.
