Necessary As Blood is the latest entry in Deborah Crombie's New York
Times Notable, Edgar(R), Agatha, and Macavity Awards-nominated mystery
series featuring Scotland Yard detectives Duncan Kincaid and Gemma
James. A Texan frequently compared to the masters of British crime
fiction--including P.D. James, Martha Grimes, Barbara Vine, and fellow
American Elizabeth George--Crombie dazzles once more with Necessary As
Blood--a relentlessly suspenseful tale of a vanished mother, a murdered
father, and a helpless, endangered child.
