Synopsis:

In Oxford in 1965 Endeavour Morse is a tee-total,classical music loving young constable who considers leaving the force after an unhappy affair but stays to join Inspector Thursday's investigation into the disappearance of schoolgirl Mary Tremlett. By deciphering a code based on crosswords in the local paper and Mary's poetry books,Morse deduces that Mary was meeting a lover and leads Thursday to the site of her murder. Following the suicide of Mary's boyfriend,student Miles Percival,Morse meets Miles' tutor, Dr. Stromming,the crossword setter,who was seeing Mary but had an alibi for the murder. DS Lott,jealous of Thursday's regard for Morse's sharpness,attempts to incriminate Miles but then the police learn that Mary and other girls were paid to attend orgies by creepy car dealer Teddy Samuels,who has Lott in his pocket,as well as other worthies. As a result,Thursday,a great mentor who also introduces the young constable to real ale,and Morse are carpeted and Morse considers leaving Oxford. However his job and future are secure after he works out a code Mary had written on her hand,ultimately leading to his cracking the case.

Set in 1965, the story follows the hunt for a missing school girl which draws Endeavour Morse to the place which will ultimately shape and define his destiny - Oxford. Deep in full-blown murder investigation and led by Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, Endeavour finds himself side-lined, discredited and at a dead end. Facing down the demons of his past, Endeavour begins his own quest in pursuit of justice, risking all in the hunt for a truth that will haunt him for the rest of his days.
