The Daughter Of Time Résumé

The Daughter Of Time: A gripping historical mystery Josephine Tey

'A detective story with a very considerable difference. Ingenious, stimulating and very enjoyable' SUNDAY TIMES

'As interesting and enjoyable a book as they will meet in a month of Sundays' OBSERVER

Scotland Yard inspector Alan Grant, recovering from a broken leg, becomes fascinated with a contemporary portrait of Richard III, believed to have brutally killed his brother's children - the Princes in the Tower - to make his crown secure. But is the hunchback with such a sensitive, noble face really one of the world's most heinous villains? Or was he the victim of one of the most insidious plots in history?
