Used Book – Innocent Blood, P.D. James

Cordelia Gray is fearless. It's a useful quality when you're a private detective. When Sir Ronald Callender hires her to investigate his son Mark's suicide, she bravely sets to work, arriving in Cambridge on a beautiful summer morning. Punting on the Cam, wild parties, charming students, and discreetly alluring professors... Cordelia could almost be lulled by the sweetness of it all. But what she uncovers is far from pleasant: class hatred, mediocrity, and sadism gnaw at this decaying society. Was it a death wish that drove Mark Callender to kill himself? Or did someone coldly eliminate him, staging the murder as a suicide? The threat is always there, like a presence lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce if approached too closely. And that's exactly what Cordelia intends to do.
