rdf:langString A bishop visiting St Gerard's College is found dead after drinking poisoned wine; Lewis and Hathaway suspect that she has been killed because of her progressive views. When another two killings occur, both mirroring macabre murders from a Jacobean revenge tragedy, it appears the murderer is targeting candidates for the post of vice-regent of the college.

But then another body turns up and the detectives find themselves pursuing even more leads. Part of Series 5 in the U.S.

rdf:langString The murder of a babysitter throws up a number of questions for Lewis and Hathaway – was she the intended target or was the killer aiming for her employers?

Soon after the first death, a friend of the dead woman is brutally killed, which brings up a slew of new questions. As the detectives dig for clues, they are led into a world of suburban swinging and fetish photography, far removed from the Oxford they know. Part of Series 5 in the U.S.

rdf:langString DI Lewis is less than pleased when he and DS Hathaway are assigned to protect Nicky Turnbull, a former criminal turned successful author. Turnbull had actually cheated two Oxford colleges in his computer scam and had received death threats. Turnbull is everything Lewis dislikes but he grits his teeth and does the job. Turnbull is in Oxford to make a speech at the request of the Oxford Union but things take a serious turn when Jo Gilchrist, a student and a member of Turnbull's reception committee, is found strangled. Gilchrist wrote for a student newspaper and intended to expose a professor's exam scam. When Turnbull is shot in the courtyard of his hotel, Lewis is reunited with his first girlfriend, who became Turnbull's wife, and uncovers that a divorce was forthcoming. ‘Rock and roll hacker’ Nicky Turnbull is invited to speak at the Oxford Union. Lewis and Hathaway are tasked with babysitting him. He is met by a welcoming committee composed of Caroline Morton, president of the Union, Jo Gilchrist, unscrupulous student journalist with ambitions to be a tabloid editor, Stephen Gilchrist, her brother who is a serious scholar, and David Harvey, a rugby player who has had to retire because of an injury. Turnbull gives his lecture and afterwards treats his audience to champagne in his hotel, which is housed in the converted prison in Oxford Castle. On the way there he is nearly run over by a jeep. Next morning he is shot dead by a sniper while talking to Lewis in the hotel courtyard. Later that day, Jo Gilchrist is found strangled in the hotel room next to Turnbull’s, which had been booked in Lewis’s name. Caroline Morton emerges, having spent the night with Turnbull. She admits that after the speech, she and Jo planned a ‘honey trap’ which would give Jo a juicy story for the press. Turnbull’s wife Diane, also his agent, comes to identify his body. By an amazing coincidence, she was at school with Lewis and he was indeed her first boyfriend. By another coincidence, David Harvey was at the same public school as Hathaway, and remembers him as the head boy. He tells him is nickname was ‘WC’, short for ‘Wolfgang Christ’, as they couldn’t work out whether he wanted to be Mozart or Jesus. It transpires that during his hacking exploits Turnbull stole large amounts of money from two Oxford colleges, and that as a result David Harvey’s father lost his job and committed suicide. David gave Jo a pistol for her 21st birthday, and on the night of Turnbull’s speech brought bullets for it, hoping she might shoot him. But she refused as she found him “kind of cute”. He therefore, out of revenge, shot him with a rifle. It is revealed that Hathaway plays the guitar, specifically world music mixed with jazz, rock and mediaeval madrigals.

rdf:langString Lewis and Hathaway investigate the murder of a man found beaten and drowned in his bath.

Investigations reveal that the deceased is another man entirely, the two having chosen to swap identities. Part of Series 2 in the U.S. Note that the Uccello painting which offers a clue to the murder in this episode is referred to as "one of the most popular canvases" in the Ashmolean Museum by one of its curators as she talks/instructs Lewis about the artwork. Indeed, the artwork IS popular, but Uccello painted this on panel, not canvas. A qualified curator would have known the difference between canvas and panel support.

rdf:langString A student called Will McEwan shoots himself in the head in St. Mark's church, after pointing the pistol at Reverend Francis King, who is found tortuously murdered by a hot poker thrust into his head the next day. The link between both is The Garden, a pious society offering 'Christian answers to youngsters' contemporary questions'; its emblem a Phoenix, to which both Will's suicide note 'On the road from Gethsemane to Calvary, I lost my way.' and a message on King's door 'Life born of fire' refer. Lewis's partner, DS James Hathaway, was a friend and classmate of Will's at both school and Cambridge. Will's father Henry McEwan apparently repudiates Will upon discovering of his son's homosexuality after his death. Will's mother believed he was going steady with a nice girl. Lewis keeps searching through these circles, discovering more secrets and deceit. More blood is to be spilled, and the meaning of names proves crucial.
