P.D. James

Writer -- via the BBC. One of the greatest writers of detective fiction, her long series of Adam Dalgliesh novels are priceless, moving beyond genre conventions to provide indelible portraits of society, the criminal procress, and the internal lives of its characters. In my opinion her two Cordelia Gray novels are even better. Among her miscellaneous works is the great science fiction novel "The Children of Men."
