James temporarily parts company with him and with the orthodox detective story to write a crime novel with a difference, without any doubt her finest yet. When Philippa Palfrey, adopted as a child and believing herself to be the motherless, illegitimate daughter of an aristocratic father, becomes eighteen she exercises her right under the children act 1975 to apply for a copy of her birth certificate, and learns the facts about her parentage; that she is the child of a rapist and a murderess and that her mother is shortly to be released on licence from a life sentence. With this knowledge she moves into an alien world which is to prove more dangerous and terrifying than any she could imagine. For there is someone else interested in her mother's release - the father of the child she killed, who has dedicated his life to seeking out and destroying his daughter's murderess. ***In "Innocent Blood" P. D. James explores the themes of the growth of love and the search for identity in a novel of extraordinary power and originality which is both a mystery and a thriller. The sustained suspense moves to a climax which is as exciting and satisfying as anything she has yet written.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper, signed and inscribed by the author on a paper slip attached to the title-page, with a very interesting ownership name. Lettice Miller was the first ever woman owner to win the Derby at Epsom in the Coronation Year of 1937 with her colt Mid-day Sun, who won it by one and a half lengths. It was rumoured that the Queen wagered a bet of £1. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

JAMES, P.D.. Innocent Blood/The Blood Tie (Uncorrected Proof). Faber & Faber, London, 1980.
Price: US$1631.38 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: A rare and very unusual author-signed, uncorrected proof copy. Prior to its publication, "Innocent Blood" was to be called "The Blood Tie". This copy, acquired in the 1980s from a publisher's sales rep shows the original title and it comes with a proof jacket bearing the later title. I showed it to P.D. James when I visited her at her house in Holland Park, London in the 1990s for a private book-signing session and she vividly remembered the last minute change of title, although she said that she had only ever seen one copy other than the one she signed for me. Generally in very good+ condition with tanning to the green covers and the pages, else no real blemishes. It is boldly signed in blue ink to the title page. A real collectors' item!
