Colin Dexter (1930–2017), was born in Stamford, England, and was a crime writer best known for the Inspector Morse series. He earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Christ’s College in Cambridge. He taught at many schools, ultimately taking up the position of senior Classics teacher at Corby Grammar School until 1966. He then became the senior assistant secretary at the University of Oxford Delegacy of Local Examinations until he retired in 1988. Dexter’s first mystery novel Last Bus to Woodstock was published in 1975, in which he introduced the character of Inspector Morse. He won several awards, many from the Crime Writers’ Association: two Silver Daggers, two Gold Daggers, and a Cartier Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement in 1997. The Inspector Morse books were also adapted as an ITV series from 1987 to 2000.
