Felix McClure, an Oxford University professor, is stabbed to death in his college study. Not only was he an expert in his field but he was one of the University's key fund-raisers. The investigation focuses on Brooks, a one-time cleaner for McClure who quit his college job abruptly after a student, Mathew Rodway, jumped out of a college window high on drugs. When Morse learns that Brooks' daughter was the object of affection for both Rodway and another student, he has another possible suspect. Brooks' wife also worked for one of McClure's friends and Morse uncovers a conspiracy that he may not be able to prove.

The constant mis-fits of Morse and Lewis are joined by by just as unlikely characters as a school teacher and a 'char' (cleaning lady) both believably acted.
As the title implies 'Cain' in the bible killed his brother but reading the passages in Genesis will not spoil your enjoyment of this episode of 'Morse' as there are, as expected, many unexpected twists. The part of the plot about funding and political correctness is bang up-to-date. I had not seen a 'Morse' for some time and viewing this episode I reasise just how much John Thaw will be missed.
The immortal John Thaw is brillant in the morse series
