DEADLY SLUMBER - Matthew Brewster, owner of a private clinic, is found dead in his garage with the car engine running. The pathologist discovers he was murdered. Morse and Lewis question the dead man's wife and son. They uncover that Michael Steppings threatened the victim; Steppings' daughter was declared brain dead while undergoing simple surgery at the clinic. Steppings is interrogated for the murder and is released when Morse substantiates his alibi. Meanwhile, Lewis discovers that Wendy Hazlitt, a nurse at the clinic, had an affair with Matthew Brewster. He also uncovers a set of anonymous threatening letters, using words clipped from newspapers and magazines, which have been sent to the victim. Forensic examinations reveal that one of the letters has been tampered with, and that an extra death threat has been added, using different glue. Morse's investigation leads to the victim's son and his belief that the son was blackmailing the victim. Morse accompanies Steppings to visit his comatose daughter in hospital, where she is on life support. Morse begins to like Steppings on learning from observation and staff that Steppings devotedly visits her daily, while Steppings is moved when Morse brings her flowers. But Lewis discovers that Steppings' accusations of medical incompetence against the Brewsters were correct - Mrs Brewster's developing illness made her take time off to rest or visit hospital and both the Doctors Brewster let the not fully qualified Hazlitt act as anaesthetist. Hazlitt was acting in place of Mrs Brewster who was in hospital on the day of Steppings' daughter's operation. Hazlitt administered the incorrect anaesthetic dose, leading to the daughter's brain damage. But Dr Brewster spurned Hazlitt's advances so Hazlitt decided on revenge - she contrived contact with Steppings and confessed how his daughter's operation was mishandled, hence the earlier unexplained break-in at the clinic which was Steppings checking the files to verify the dates of Dr Brewster's absences against ops. Hazlitt and Steppings drew up a plan to murder Dr (Mr) Brewster which involved blackmailing the son, requiring Steppings to forge threatening letters and the son to reveal them to Morse. Meanwhile Dr (Mrs) Brewster dies after suffering trauma from being told her son has confessed to the murder and been arrested. After Morse realises and proves the son is lying to cover up for the murderer, the son then murders Steppings before Steppings can flee the country. Steppings writes to Morse, confessing, and saying his ex-wife will look after their daughter, which she does by having the life support switched off.

THE DAY OF THE DEVIL - John Peter Barrie, a convicted rapist and devil worshipper, escapes from a prison infirmary by eluding the authorities with several disguises. Morse and Lewis begin a manhunt in an attempt to track him down. They question his prison therapist, Doctor Esther Martin, and Humphrey Appleton, a priest and an expert in the occult, who provides them with information on Barrie's state of mind. Meanwhile, Barrie abducts Holly Trevors, wife of Steven Trevors, an odd-job man working for Oxford college, but releases her. Barrie then demands to meet with Dr Martin on Lammas day, a pagan day of ritual fire. Lewis visits an Occult bookshop, where he finds that one of their regular customers is a colleague of Steven Trevors. Morse begins to suspect that someone is helping Barrie, after witness statements reveal that his disguises involve professional theatrical make-up. Meanwhile, Steven Trevors's fingerprints are discovered, previously unidentified, on the police data base from an earlier unsolved crime, which is linked to Barrie. On Lammas Day, a group of devil-worshippers are celebrating a Black Mass, when they are suddenly surrounded by a ring of fire, and Steven Trevors is burned alive. The mystery deepens when Barrie's much earlier connection to his prison therapist is revealed.

TWILIGHT OF THE GODS - Neville Grimshaw, an investigative journalist, is found shot dead. Opera diva Gwladys Probert, is shot by a sniper during an academic procession which is witnessed by Morse and Lewis. Morse and Lewis discover that Grimshaw was investigating Andrew Baydon, a prospective major benefactor of the college. An investigation finds that the two shootings are related. Baydon, a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp, is revealed as a collaborator and guard, and Morse suspects that he ordered the killing of Grimshaw, which leads him to realise that Victor Ignotas, a survivor of the same camp, may have unintentionally shot Probert whilst attempting to kill Baydon.
