The jewel that was ours, by Colin Dexter

 

This is another complex mystery set in Cambridge at the end of the 1980s or early 1990s. Inspector Morse is called in to solve the theft of a historical artifact that was going to be donated to the Ashmolean Museum. Its owner died of a heart attack right after the jewel was stolen, complicating the investigation. When a Cambridge professor was found murdered the next day, it becomes clear that there is a more complex conspiracy afoot. Well-written and fast-paced as usual, this book kept me guessing until the end.
