Who really killed the princes in the tower?

Was Richard III truly the ogre of legend and Shakespeare's play. - a wicked uncle who murdered his nephews to steal the crown of England?

Inspector Alan Grant is not so sure. Laid up in hospital with a broken leg, he becomes obsessed with unravelling this most enduring of historical mysteries. As he investigates with the help of an enthusiastic young American scholar, he unearths long-buried intrigues and comes to a startling conclusion.

Josephine Tey is one of the most brilliant and original of all British crime writers. Born in Inverness in 1896, Tey made her mystery debut with The Man in the Queue in 1929, the book that also introduced Inspector Alan Grant. The Daughter of Time, first published in 1951, is her best known and loved work, and in 1990 was voted number 1 in the Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time list published by the British Crime Writers' Association.
