The Morse Code
As with the cases of Sherlock Holmes, a 4-letter code has been assigned to the various Colin Dexter stories and television adaptations in the attempt to save having to write titles out in full every time they appear in text. Those given below should by no means be regarded as the definitive version and any comments would be most welcome from members. As will be seen, in general the first 4 letters of a title are used, ignoring ‘the’ and the words ‘dead of’, ‘death of’ and ‘last’ which appear multiple times in the titles. Absolute Conviction - ABSO Cherubim And Seraphim - CHER Daughters Of Cain - DAUG Day Of The Devil - DEVI Dead Of Jericho - JERI Dead On Time - TIME Deadly Slumber - SLUM Death Is Now My Neighbour - NEIG Death Of The Self - SELF Deceived By Flight - DECE Driven To Distraction - DRIV Fat Chance - FATC Ghost In The Machine - GHOS Greeks Bearing Gifts - GREE Happy Families - HAPP Infernal Serpent - INFE Jewel That Was Ours- JEWE Last Bus To Woodstock - LBUS Last Enemy - LENE Last Seen Wearing - LSEE Morse’s Greatest Mystery - MORS Masonic Mysteries - MASO Promised Land - PROM Remorseful Day - REMO Riddle Of The Third Mile - RIDD Second Time Around - SECO Secret Of Bay 5B - SECR Service Of All The Dead - SERV Settling Of The Sun - SETT Silent World Of Nicholas Quinn - SILE Sins Of The Fathers - SINS Twilight Of The Gods - TWIL Way Through The Woods - WAYT Wench Is Dead - WENC Who Killed Harry Field? - WHOK Wolvercote Tongue - WOLV
