Last Seen Wearing is the second novel in Colin Dexter’s Oxford-set detective series.

Morse was beset by a nagging feeling. Most of his fanciful notions about the Taylor female had evaporated and he previously begun to suspect that further investigation into Valerie’s disappearance would involve bit more than sober and tedious routine .

The statements before Inspector Morse appeared to confirm the bald, simple truth.

After departing home to return to school, teenager Valerie Taylor had completely vanished, and the trail had opted cold.

Until two years, three months and two days after Valerie’s disappearance, someone decides to supply some surprising new evidence for the case . . .

Last Seen Wearing is followed by the third Inspector Morse book, The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn.
