P.D. JAMES
Phyllis Dorothy James White, or P.D. James as she’s better known, is the author of 20 books, the recipient of countless prizes, an inductee in the International Crime Writing Hall of Fame and was created a Baroness James of Holland Park in 1991. Her fans adore her most, however, for creating the intensely cerebral Adam Dalgliesh, who was first introduced in James’ 1962 novel Cover Her Face, and has appeared in most of her novels since. Renowned for her precise prose, her grasp of the human behavior and her vivid sense of place, she richly deserves the title of “the reigning mistress of murder.”—TIME magazine
