Faber to reissue P. D. James' Adam Dalgleish mystery series!

Faber will reissue P. D. James’ Adam Dalgliesh mystery series, in groups of five books at a time in August and November 2024, and February 2025.

The covers for the new editions are designed by Robbie Porter and described by the publisher as the “perfect reintroduction to a legend”. Publication will be supported by a wide-reaching marketing and publicity campaign, with contemporary authors discussing P D James’ work and legacy over the next year, starting at CrimeFest, where she was the “Ghost of Honour”.

“P. D. James sets the standard for modern crime writing,” said Faber’s crime editor, Sara Helen Binney. “Every time I go back to the Adam Dalgliesh series I find something new, and it’s the honour of my career to work with the wildly talented team here to reissue these 14 novels as the classics they are.”

"P. D. James took the classic crime novel and turned up the dial. The murders Dalgliesh investigates provide complex, arresting narratives, but it is James’ probing of the institutions in which they occur that makes her work of lasting significance." - MICK HERRON
