P. D. James
P.D. James,who passed in 2014,was instrumental in bringing a contemporary,literary edge to British crime writing. With twisting plots to match the probing intelligence of her key protagonist Adam Dalgliesh,from 1962's Cover Her Face onward James challenged and exceeded the genre. 1972's An Unsuitable Job for a Woman took James into the murky realms of the private detective and 1992's Children of Men even saw the author journey into near-future science fiction with assured results.
