The Daughters of Cain is the eleventh novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set detective series, and it is a bizarre and bewildering tale. Lewis was correct in his thinking, but he could not have known the unprecedented anguish that the present case would cause to Morse's soul. Chief Superintendent Strange's opinion was that too little progress had been made since the discovery of a corpse in a North Oxford flat. The victim had been killed by a single stab wound to the stomach, but the police had no weapon, suspect, or motive. Within days of taking over the case, Chief Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis uncover startling new information about the life and death of Dr. Felix McClure. When another body is discovered, Morse suddenly finds himself with too many suspects. But then he receives a letter containing a declaration of love. The Daughters of Cain is followed by the twelfth Inspector Morse book, Death is Now My Neighbour.
