About this book
Innocent Blood, published in 1980 at 349 pages, is one of P. D. James's three standalone novels outside her Adam Dalgliesh and Cordelia Gray detective series, following a young woman who discovers on turning eighteen that she was adopted after her birth mother was convicted of murder -- and sets out to find her, with consequences neither anticipates. It sits alongside James's dystopian The Children of Men (1992) and her Jane Austen-inflected Death Comes to Pemberley (2011) as evidence of a wider range than her reputation as a series crime writer suggests.
