The Daughter Of Time

This
classic detective story explores the real-life Tudor mystery of 'The
Princes in the Tower', following a police detective in the 1950s as he
re-examines this historical case.

Scotland Yard
inspector Alan Grant becomes fascinated by a portrait of Richard III
while he is confined to bed with a broken leg. Unable to reconcile the
kindly face he sees there with the horrible crimes attributed to the
man, he decides to re-examine the murder of the Princes in the Tower.
Convinced of Richard's innocence, Grant studies the historical evidence,
using the keen insight and deductive skills of his detective
background, leading him to a startling discovery.

The Daughter of Time
is a classic detective novel which pushed the boundaries of the genre
by examining a real-life, high-profile mystery. It was voted number one
in The Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time list compiled by the British
Crime Writers' Association and number four in The Top 100 Mystery Novels of All Time
list compiled by the Mystery Writers of America. Since the discovery of
Richard III's skeleton beneath a Leicester council carp park, interest
in the real story of the controversial king has never been higher, and
Josephine Tey's classic novel has never been more relevant.
